Swine Flu Pandemic

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

You may have heard about the swine flu Pandemic that has hit the news.

Below are one or two areas of advice:

When in direct contact with infected persons or animals we recommend a P3 mask.

If there is no indication of an infection, wearing a P2 mask as a precaution is advisable.

Medical or hygienic masks cannot be recommended as they offer only minimal protection.

Respiratory protection can reduce the danger of infection by viruses but not completely prevent it.

When wearing a mask it is imperative for the efficiency to make sure the mask fits the face properly.

Biologically active hazards can enter the body by way of skin or eyes so that other measures of protection than wearing a mask might be necessary

We have been getting quite a lot of enquires and a couple of big orders that pertain to this situation. Obviously this issue was unforeseen, from a production and recession point of view. Thus, we are already telling people that we have limited stocks and as such are honoring orders on a first come basis. Therefore you best place your order quickly.

Please therefore contact TGS Industrial Supplies Ltd if you feel you need to order early for this unforeseen situation
