THE launch of the NEW Dromex DH-302 Respiratory Range marks a significant advancement in workplace safety. Discover its key features and some important insights into selecting and maintaining the right respiratory protection for those who work beyond the ordinary.
Key Features of the Dromex DH-302
The Dromex DH-302 respirator is designed with both functionality and user-friendliness at its core. But what truly sets it apart, you might ask?
- Firstly, it’s constructed with soft Thermoplastic Rubber/Elastomer (TPR), which provides a comfortable, hypoallergenic fit that retains its shape. This reduces the need for constant readjustment and minimises irritation during extended use.
- Secondly, its low-profile design allows workers to wear additional protective gear, such as face shields and hard hats, without obstructing their view or compromising safety.
- Thirdly, the respirator’s four-point adjustment system ensures an optimum fit, while the high-quality straps retain elasticity for long-lasting comfort and a secure face seal.
- Additionally, the threaded filter attachment system allows workers to quickly and easily replace filters, avoiding unnecessary hassle, downtime and incorrect installation.

The Importance of Respiratory Protection
Selecting the correct respiratory protection is crucial and can be the difference between life and death. To ensure that the correct respirator is chosen, always conduct the following checks:
Risk Assessment
A thorough risk assessment is the advisable starting point. This will help to identify the specific hazards that are present in the environment and determine what type of respirator will be required to provide the necessary protection for the environment. In environments where oxygen levels are below 19,5%, the air is considered oxygen-deficient, and a re-usable air purifying respirator cannot be used.
Fit Testing
The effectiveness of a respirator is dependent on how well it fits the user. A properly fitted respirator ensures that contaminants are effectively blocked. The Dromex
DH-302 makes this easy with its adjustable design and seamless head, eye and face integration options.
Seal Testing is an important part of the fit test and involves performing both a positive and negative pressure test to ensure that the respirator forms an airtight seal. This added step is to verify that the respirator will perform as expected in hazardous environments.
Routine Maintenance
It’s important to inspect your respirator regularly to ensure that it remains in good working condition.
The seals, filters, and valves must all be checked for wear and tear, to confirm that the respirator continues to function correctly and protects the user effectively. If any parts are worn or damaged, the respirator must immediately be replaced.
