KN95 Facemasks Warning

June 11, 2020 paul AWGB News

The HSE have released a warning about KN95 masks. Many apparently carry false certification and are not suitable for use as PPE. See the HSE website for a detailed explanation.

Even if the KN95 masks are genuine, they are still unsuitable. The AWGB policy recommends FFP3 rated masks for woodturning use. More guidance is in our dust protection policy document.
