PPE – Respiratory Protection – Toolbox Talk

Some hazards you can’t see—but they can destroy your lungs. This Respiratory Protection Toolbox Talk helps workers recognize when respiratory PPE is required, how to select the correct type, and how to use it properly to prevent long-term damage. It emphasizes proper fit, filter care, and hazard-specific protection for dust, gas, and fumes.

Built for any jobsite where airborne contaminants are present—demolition, welding, painting, confined spaces, or cleanup.
