Guidance
For your information, facial hair should be removed in advance of wearing tight-fitting respiratory
equipment such as the Corpro HM1400 half mask or the FFM1600 full face mask. This is because facial
hair will reduce the effectiveness of the seal between the mask and face. If an individual cannot clean-
shave for personal or religious reasons, they should speak to an appropriate Respiratory Health and
Safety individual within their organisation to discuss RPE options.
During cleaning procedures, be aware that the products may be contaminated before disinfecting.
Wear PPE before and during cleaning processes to reduce risk and dispose of/clean such PPE
appropriately and safely after use. All cleaning should be undertaken in a sterile or uncontaminated
environment.
Keep all Corpro products out of reach of children – small parts may be a choking hazard.
3.1 HM1400 Half Mask
The Corpro HM1400 Half Mask is a reusable, elastomeric respirator which requires an appropriate pair
of F1100 range filters attached (depending on airborne contaminants; both filters must be of the same
type and class). See section 3.3 for more information about the F1100 range filters. The mask can also
be used with various Corpro accessories (specified in section 3.4).
3.1.1 General Training
This section will cover the processes on how to appropriately select, wear, adjust and check the fit of
your HM1400.
