To support Movember, which sees men across the UK growing facial hair to raise awareness and funds for men’s health, 3M has created a light hearted video to show-off some respirator-suitable facial hair styles. The video features members of the 3M Personal Safety team, led-by 3M technical specialist Alan McArthur, who shows viewers some facial hair options that can be safely worn without interfering with a respirator’s face seal – and those that need to be avoided.
The video highlights the need for tight-fitting RPE wearers to be clean shaven under the area of the face seal, but disproves the misconception that they must be entirely clean shaven.
