A good quality safety mask is key to protecting carpenters from the myriad contaminants commonly found in these work environments. Wood dust is a by-product of activities such as sanding, saw mill operations and furniture manufacturing. When inhaled, wood dust irritates the eyes and respiratory system. In addition, certain types of wood have been associated with an increased risk of cancer.

In addition to other protective gear such as helmets and safety glasses, a durable safety face mask is vital to filtering out harmful contaminants such as wood dust, while allowing woodworkers to breathe easily in challenging environments. For a safety mask that delivers comfort and meets stringent standards, contact PAFtec on +61 2 8436 4000 or email sales@paftec.com.au for more information today.

What Health Hazards are Woodworkers Confronted With On a Daily Basis?

The act of sawing, chipping and sanding wood releases minute particles such as wood dust and formaldehyde, a toxic chemical commonly used in lumber products. It has been classified as a known human carcinogen by the WHO International Agency for Research for Cancer (IARC) and is correlated with the development of nasal sinus cancer and leukemia.

Implementing comprehensive safety precautions greatly reduces health risks and creates a safer work environment for woodworkers. Safety procedures such as full protective gear (including a high filtration safety mask) and efficient ventilation address the myriad potential threats that confront woodworkers on a daily basis. A high-filtration safety mask creates an effective barrier between the oral and nasal passages and contaminants such as wood dust and formaldehyde.

Wood Dust: What are the Dangers?

Long-term exposure to wood dust increases your risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cancer. A major cause of death and illness globally, COPD obstructs airway to the lungs, resulting in extreme shortness of breath. Unprotected individuals in industries such as woodworking are at an elevated risk of contracting COPD, which ultimately leads to death.

A safety mask that offers a high level shield against wood dust helps prevent COPD for woodworkers. A PAFtec CleanSpace® safety mask for example, filters out at least 99% of contaminants that are 0.3um and above. For a safety mask that cares, contact PAFtec on +61 2 8436 4000 or email sales@paftec.com.au for a list of stockists today.
