Workplace safety is a top priority, especially in healthcare and other high-risk environments. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sets strict standards for personal protective equipment (PPE), ensuring that employees are properly protected while on the job. While OSHA does not certify ASTM masks, OSHA does mandate the appropriate use of personal protective equipment like surgical masks and respirators in workplaces where there is a risk of exposure to hazardous materials, including infectious diseases. One innovation helping organizations comply with both safety and accessibility requirements is the Level 3 certified transparent Communicator™ mask with clear window.
OSHA guidelines require employers to provide PPE that meets performance standards for filtration, fluid resistance, and overall protection. In medical and industrial settings where exposure risks are high, using certified PPE is not optional—certified PPE is a compliance necessity that protects both workers and organizations alike.
Level 3 certified transparent Communicator™ masks with clear window are designed to meet ASTM standards for high filtration and fluid resistance, and include a clear window to make communication more visible and accessible. These masks offer:
By meeting these requirements, Communicator™ mask with clear window align with OSHA’s PPE guidelines for respiratory and barrier protections.
One of the biggest win-win advantages of Level 3 certified transparent masks is that they promote accessibility and inclusivity without compromising safety. For workers and patients who are deaf or hard of hearing, transparent masks eliminate communication barriers by keeping facial expressions visible—something opaque masks cannot provide.
When organizations choose Level 3 certified transparent Communicator™ masks, they demonstrate a dual commitment:
Meeting OSHA guidelines does not mean sacrificing accessibility or inclusivity. With Level 3 certified transparent Communicator™ masks, workplaces can achieve the highest levels of protection while supporting clear communication. This is the future of PPE—safe, compliant, and accessible. Improving workplace safety is a good goal and worth maintaining with Communicator™ masks.
