Click the link to go to the NIOSH website to download the poster “How to Properly Put on and Take off a Disposable Respirator”

NIOSH Publication No. 2010-133:

What you should know about putting on and taking off a disposable respirator:

Wash your hands thoroughly before putting on and taking off the respirator.

  • If you have used a respirator before that fit you, use the same make, model and size.
  • Inspect the respirator for damage. If your respirator appears damaged, DO NOT USE IT. Replace it with a new one.
  • Do not allow facial hair, hair, jewelry, glasses, clothing, or anything else to prevent proper placement or come between your face and the respirator.
  • Follow the instructions that come with your respirator.

Great info, thanks for the resource NIOSH!
