How do you use the JSP Typhoon 8 for asbestos and silica work?
PressToCheck filters let the wearer confirm a face seal before each use by pressing the filter centres and inhaling. For asbestos and respirable crystalline silica, the half mask has to sit inside a documented control system with fit testing, training and supervision under AS/NZS 1715, and wearers must be clean-shaven.
PressToCheck and HEPA filtration
The PressToCheck filters let the wearer perform a quick fit check by pressing the filter centres and inhaling, a fast way to confirm a face seal before each use. The P2 HEPA media exceeds 99.97% efficiency, providing a high level of particulate filtration for fine and hazardous dusts.
Use for silica and asbestos work
The Typhoon 8 is suited to asbestos, respirable crystalline silica and other hazardous dusts, but respiratory protection is only one control. It must form part of a documented system with the right work methods, fit testing, training and supervision under the relevant codes of practice and AS/NZS 1715. Users must be clean-shaven for the mask to seal.
Frequently asked questions
Is the JSP Typhoon 8 suitable for asbestos and silica?
Yes, when it forms part of a compliant control system with fit testing, training and supervision. The PressToCheck P2 HEPA filters exceed 99.97% efficiency and the mask is certified to AS/NZS 1716, and asbestos or silica work still follows the relevant codes of practice and AS/NZS 1715.
What is PressToCheck on the JSP Typhoon 8?
PressToCheck is a built-in fit check: press the filter centres, inhale, and confirm the face seal before use. Running that check each time the mask goes on is a fast way to confirm the seal, which also depends on the wearer being clean-shaven.
What comes in the JSP Typhoon 8 asbestos and silica kit?
The kit supplied under BHT0A3-0L5-UAN contains the reusable half mask, two PressToCheck P2 filters and sanitary wipes. The mask carries a 4-point suspension harness with quick-release buckles and a low-resistance silicone exhalation valve, and the P2 HEPA media exceeds 99.97% filtration efficiency.
Can the Typhoon 8 be worn with a face shield or welding visor?
Yes. The Typhoon 8 has a low-profile, swept-back design that is compatible with face shields and welding visors, making it suitable for demanding dust work. This is the same reusable half mask kit (BHT0A3-0L5-UAN) certified to AS/NZS 1716.
