What is the best type of respirator mask?
Loosely woven cloth products provide the least protection, layered finely woven products offer more protection,
well-fitting disposable surgical masks and KN95s offer even more protection, and well-fitting NIOSH-approved respirators (including N95s) offer the highest level of protection.
What is the best way to wear a respirator mask?
Cover your mouth and nose with the respirator and make sure there are no gaps (e.g., facial hair, hair, and glasses) between your face and the respirator.
Place the strap over your head and rest at the top back of your head. If you have a second strap, place the bottom strap around your neck and below your ears.
How long should you wear a respirator mask?
There is no time limit to wearing an N95. Respirators can be worn until they are dirty, damaged, or difficult to breathe through.
