Kids and dust masks

[Ben Seigal]

hi all, I have a background in chemistry R&D and take personal protective gear serious. Cutting, sanding, and drilling always get a 3M respirator, ear and eye protection. Add a facesheild when turning.

My 6 yr old wants to help me in the shop, but I am hesitant because I want to properly protect her lungs. Right now we preplan the cut list and work on assembly together. In her mind she wants to help with the whole project.

How do you protect little ones lungs? Ears and eyes I have covered.

Thanks
Ben

If nothing else, I’d have her wear a mask like used in hospitals.

Looks like eclipse has a mask sized to her face according to the sizing chart. I bet the 3M small would work too.

You realize she will want her own lathe.

My 8 year old son wears a small 3m 7500 series respirator body with a 2091 particle filter.

Thank you.
I wear a large version of the 7500, I was looking for a size chart and didn’t see one.

I haven’t invested in this yet, but it’s on the soon list.
