Filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) and surgical masks may appear similar in design, but are quite different. When worker protection from inhalation hazards is necessary, a respirator, not a surgical mask, must be selected. For FFRs to protect wearers, however, wearers must be trained in wearing and using them properly, determine they fit by being fit tested, perform a user seal check each time FFRs are put on, and be medically evaluated to ensure they are physically able to wear FFRs while working.
过滤式面罩（FFR）和外科口罩在设计上可能看起来相似，但却有很大的不同。当需要工人吸入危害防护时，必须选择口罩而不是外科口罩。然而，为了使 FFR 能够保护佩戴者，佩戴者必须接受正确佩戴和使用它们的培训，通过适合性测试确定它们适合，每次佩戴 FFR 时进行使用者密封检查，并进行医学评估以确保他们在工作时能够佩戴 FFR。
