How to Properly Put On and Take 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.
