3M Supports Movember With Important Safety Message

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.                                                                                                                     

To help support the campaign, 3M has also pledged to make a £1,000 donation to the Movember Foundation and will double this figure if the video receives more than 5000 unique views by 31st December 2015.
