Cleanspace Respirators - Air Purifying Systems, Masks, Filters & Accessories

To avoid severe consequences, businesses must prioritize respiratory protection. Studies show that 91% of organizations requiring respirators have potentially inadequate programs. This inadequacy can lead to serious worker illnesses, including silicosis and lung cancer. Moreover, businesses risk significant fines, potentially reaching $165,514 per violation for willful or repeated offenses from OSHA (source: NIH).

CleanSpace Respirators & Powered Air Purifying Systems

Hero LifeCare offers NIOSH-approved respirators meeting stringent federal standards for workplace safety. Our collection features advanced CleanSpace powered air purifying respirators (PAPRs) and precision-engineered masks designed for professional use across industries.

Choose from powered air purifying respirators (PAPR), half-face masks, and full-face systems. Each delivers specialized protection:

All products feature low-breathing resistance designs. Many include cool-flow exhalation valves. This reduces heat buildup during extended wear. Proper respiratory protection can decrease occupational illness risk by up to 80% (OSHA compliance data).

How to Choose the Ideal Respirator

Selecting the right respirator depends on the specific hazards you face, exposure levels, and personal comfort preferences.

Consider factors like the type of contaminant (e.g., dust, chemical vapors, or biohazards), the required protection level (e.g., N95, P100), and the work environment. Our detailed How to Choose a Respirator guide provides step-by-step advice to help you find the best fit for your needs, ensuring compliance with OSHA and NIOSH standards.

  • Hazard Assessment: Identify airborne contaminants, including particles, gases, vapors, or combination exposures.
  • Protection Level: Match Assigned Protection Factors (APF) to exposure levels. Higher APF ratings provide greater protection margins.
  • Work Environment: Consider intrinsically safe requirements, battery life needs, and physical demands of tasks.
  • Compliance Requirements: Ensure NIOSH approval and OSHA standard compliance for your specific industry applications.

Respirator FAQs
  • What is the difference between N95 and PAPR respirators?

    N95 respirators are filtering facepiece disposable masks offering 95% particle filtration. PAPR systems use battery-powered blowers providing continuous airflow through high-efficiency filters, offering higher protection factors and extended wear comfort.

  • How often should respirator filters be replaced?

    Filter replacement depends on usage conditions and manufacturer guidelines. Monitor breathing resistance increases and follow change-out schedules based on contaminant exposure levels and filter capacity specifications.

  • Are CleanSpace respirators suitable for healthcare applications?

    CleanSpace PAPR systems provide protection suitable for various professional applications. Consult current CDC and facility guidelines for healthcare-specific respiratory protection requirements.

  • What training is required for respirator use?

    OSHA mandates comprehensive respiratory protection programs including medical evaluations, fit testing, and user training. Programs must be administered by qualified personnel with appropriate expertise.

  • How do I ensure proper respirator fit?

    Proper fit requires professional fit testing using quantitative or qualitative methods. Annual testing ensures continued protection effectiveness as required by OSHA standards.
