The company “KZN Leisure Boats” in Durban builds, repairs, and restores boats. The work with glass-fibre reinforced plastics offsets hazardous dust particles and fumes. Respiratory masks are used to protect the workers’ health.
Due to the global spread of the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus, the demand for suitable personal protective equipment has risen sharply and, as a consequence, FFP masks are particularly sought after. Previously used mainly in industrial applications, they nowadays first and foremost serve to protect medical staff during the coronavirus pandemic.
