Respiratory protection is probably overlooked more often than eye and ear protection, yet is every bit as important. There are many jobs around the garage in which some form of respirator or mask should be used. These include but are not limited to painting, welding, grinding, sandblasting, solvent tanks and insulation handling (especially when it contains asbestos). Respirators are often found in two basic styles, full face and half face. These should be chosen based on the level of exposure that is anticipated. Generally speaking, a half face respirator should be sufficient for most at home projects. | Respiratory protection is probably overlooked more often than eye and ear protection, yet is every bit as important.
