What is PPE?

PPE, or Personal Protection Equipment, is used to keep your body and person from being affected or infected by an outside source such as a virus, bacterial, or other forms of contaminants. PPE may include face shields, face masks, latex or non-latex protective gloves, surgical gowns, hand sanitizer, or a myriad of coverings used for protection. Here at 1000Bulbs.com we are committed to providing PPE for those who are seeking them.

Face Masks as PPE

Face masks come in a variety of styles and forms. Understanding what you need should be based on two universal facts about faces masks and their uses:

  1. The benefits of the face mask.
  2. The purpose of the face mask.

The Benefits of the Face Mask

Face masks have a multitude of benefits. First, they keep contaminants away from your nose and mouth. Since viruses are airborne they can be contracted through the nose or mouth. If someone coughs or sneezes, these pollutants can stay airborne for up to fifteen minutes. If you are not present at the moment it happens, you have a high potential of contracting whatever has been released into the air as you walk through. Second, it can keep you from spreading viruses and other forms of microorganisms. If you have a mask on when you sneeze or cough, there is less of a possibility of spreading anything you may have. Note: Having a mask is not a reason for going into public when not feeling well. We at 1000Bulbs.com encourage our employees, and others, not to be in public if you have symptoms or some other form of infection.

KN95 Masks

KN95 masks are made of several layers of fiber cloth that filter at least 95% of airborne particles, providing protection against pathogens, droplets, dust, and pollution. These disposable masks are manufactured with the same standards as N95 masks. Featuring a contoured design, KN95 masks fit snugly over the nose and mouth. A metal piece over the nose can be adjusted to ensure a proper fit.
