Tiki medical – ENGLISH
The following situations are to be assessed to a potential risk, before the use of the
Tiki medical mask.
Such risk assessment is under the responsibility of either the user or the
organisation that holds responsibility over the user, as for example the employer of
the user.
Before use, the Tiki medical mask is to be tested by the designated user as to the
procedure: 3.1 Test before any use that the mask is tight on page 24.
For all the below situations, also refer to paragraph 1.8 At use on page 9.
1.3.1 Facial hair
Facial hair might cause that the seal between the Tiki medical mask and the face of
the user is not tight.
This causes the risk that gaps occur between the Tiki medical mask and the face
of the user.
Tiki Safety AB advises to – as necessary – shave off facial hair before using the Tiki
medical mask.
Pay special attention to the zones where the mask touches the face.
1.3.2 Protruding nose
A protruding nose might touch the inner edge of the Tiki medical mask and cause either:
■
■
Discomfort to the nose of the user
■
■
Or the risk that gaps occur between the Tiki medical mask and the face of the
user
Tiki Safety AB designed the Tiki medical mask to industrial standards on ergonomics,
yet a situation as a protruding nose can occur.
To prevent the indicated risk, Tiki Safety AB advises to use – if possible – a mask of
a bigger size.
Tiki Safety AB advises to bear the discomfort to the nose over the risk that gaps
occur.
1.3.3 Glasses
Tiki Safety AB designed the Tiki medical mask to industrial standards on ergonomics
in regard to glasses of the user.
Yet, it might occur that the glasses of the user cause that the seal between the Tiki
medical mask to the face of the user is not tight.
This causes the risk that gaps occur between the Tiki medical mask and the face
of the user.
Therefore, Tiki Safety AB advises to:
■
■
Assess this risk before the use of the Tiki medical mask
■
■
Wear contact lenses in combination with the mask, if possible
