According to a 2023 YouGov survey, the majority (54%) of men in the UK have facial hair, up from 37% in 2011.
With this increasing majority comes a workplace issue that you may not expect…
Face Fit Masks and BeardsIf you've got a big beard and work in industries such as construction, metal work, healthcare, foundries, stonemasons, or in oil and gas, you’ve probably encountered the challenge of finding a respiratory mask that fits properly.
In fact, it isn’t just those with large beards who have an issue – being anything other than freshly shaven can often prevent masks from fitting flush to the face, making it impossible to fully protect your lungs without sacrificing your facial hair.
Good news though for facial hair fans – you no longer need to keep the beard to a minimum thanks to JSP Powercap® Infinity® PAPR Masks.
This advanced piece of equipment offers a game-changing approach to respiratory protection, combining the latest technology in a design that doesn’t require a face fit test.
Keep Your Beard Long!
Where traditional respirators often struggle to create an adequate seal around facial hair, the Powercap® Infinity® instead delivers clean air through its Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) system, which does not rely on a tight seal against the skin. This means you can keep your beard while ensuring your lungs are protected from dust, fumes, and other harmful particles.
Comprehensive 4-in-1 Protection
The Powercap® Infinity® doesn’t just stop at respiratory protection; it combines four-in-one respiratory, head, eye, and ear protection in a single unit. This all-encompassing approach ensures that you are fully shielded from workplace hazards, without the hassle of managing multiple pieces of equipment.
Head Protection: The foundation of the Powercap® Infinity® is the robust ABS shell of the EVO®5 Olympus® industrial safety helmet. This helmet offers superior protection against impacts, giving you peace of mind in high-risk environments.
Lung Protection: The unit’s high-capacity HEPA filters deliver an impressive 160L of clean air per minute. This high flow rate ensures that you’re always breathing air free from harmful particles, while the efficient design maximises battery life.
Eye Protection: The Powercap® Infinity® features a state-of-the-art optical class 1 visor, offering panoramic visibility and impact protection at speeds of up to 270mph. Whether you're facing flying debris or other hazards, this visor has you covered.
Hearing Protection: It can also be equipped with Sonis® helmet-mounted ear defenders (optional, not included), which integrate seamlessly with the unit. These ear defenders provide essential hearing protection without compromising comfort or fit.
Available in Four Colours
The JSP Powercap® Infinity® doesn’t just excel in functionality; it also offers options to match your brand colours or even your favourite colour! Available in black, white, orange, or blue, this unit allows you to choose the look that best matches your personal or company brand.
