Various hazards lurk on construction sites. For the lungs, these include dust, smoke, toxic gases and vapours. That is why respiratory protection is as indispensable for construction workers as the hard hat. The Optrel swiss air makes a significant contribution to the long-term health of workers.

As versatile as the challenges in construction, so flexible is the swiss air in use. Whether in dusty environments, during welding work or in areas with chemical fumes, it always provides optimal protection. Thanks to the particle filter, even the finest particles, such as sharp-edged quartz dust, are removed from the breathing air. This protects the lungs and reduces the risk of respiratory diseases and long-term health damage. Chronic coughing, shortness of breath, bronchitis and even pulmonary fibrosis or silicosis are avoidable when using the swiss air continuously.

A major advantage of the swiss air is its wearing comfort. The flexible fabric half-mask with a protection factor of 500 for TH3 protection adapts perfectly to any face shape, even if someone is not clean-shaven. The fabric half-mask completely covers the mouth and nose. If needed, the mask can be switched to a tightly fitting silicone mask with a protection factor of 2000. Both mask types can be cleaned with little effort.

The swiss air supports breathing with a slight overpressure, eliminating the tiring breathing resistance known from passive masks and allowing higher worker performance even during long usage durations.

The ultra-light blower unit of the swiss air is ergonomically shaped and comfortably worn on the back with an adjustable shoulder strap for maximum freedom of movement. The high wearing comfort makes you forget the respiratory protection is even there and wearing it becomes a permanent state.

This continuous protection helps to prevent health-related consequential damage caused by exposure to contaminants during active work or by traversing the working environment.
To ensure that the innovative swiss air can also be used in exposed and humid working environments, Optrel offers an IP 54 certified protective cover. It provides effective protection for the swiss air against malfunctions caused by conductive dirt or water.

To check the capacity of the battery or filter, a quick glance at the user-friendly control panel is sufficient. If the battery is empty or the filter is full, an alarm will be displayed in good time. The fan can also be switched on or off via the panel and the air volume can be adjusted to the users liking.

Overall, the respiratory protection system is well accepted thanks to its high level of comfort. This helps ensure compliance with respiratory protection guidelines while improving working conditions and long-term health protection.
