Do you use filter masks when cutting glass?
Hi,
Do you use some kind of breathing protection when cutting glass at traffic incidents?
Cutting glass with reciprocating saws or glass saws cause very small glass particles to circle the air and they are not nice to have in your lungs.
There are several ways to reduce small glass particles, tape, shaving cream, water etc but none work perfect so some kind of protection may be needed.
So do you use masks?
If you do, do you use one time filter masks or something that you can use several times?
If you use masks that you can use several times, how do you clean them or are they personal?

And that's the answer right there- extrication teams need to work around the glass. Flap to the front, not the rear, avoid full rood removals if possible and other techniques
