N95 respirators are the most widely used respiratory protection in the workplace. Because they are so commonly used to eliminate exposure to hazardous airborne particles, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health designated Sept. 5 as N95 Day to share resources that promote proper use of NIOSH-certified respirators. Visit theN95 Day webpage for more information.
