Case Study: Future Form Enhances Worker Safety and Efficiency with AYO WX Loose-Fitting PAPR Systems

Eliminating Silica Dust Risks in Construction Without Compromise

Overview

Future Form, a leading formwork and concrete construction company, faced significant challenges protecting its workforce from silica dust—a pervasive hazard in their industry. Traditional solutions like disposable paper masks and non-powered respirators proved inadequate due to fit testing requirements, worker discomfort, and logistical inefficiencies. After adopting the AYO WX FFM-LF Loose-Fitting Full-Face PAPR System, Future Form transformed its safety protocols, achieving compliance, cost savings, and worker satisfaction.

Challenges: Why Traditional Respirators Fell Short

1. Bearded Workers: Many employees wore facial hair, making tight-seal respirators ineffective and forcing costly, uncomfortable shaving mandates.
2. High Contractor Turnover: Frequent onboarding of new contractors required repeated fit testing, delaying projects and increasing expenses.
3. Mobility Constraints: Belt-mounted PAPRs or hose systems hindered workers carrying tools or navigating confined spaces.
4. Cost Barriers: Competitor PAPR systems (e.g., 3M Versaflo) were prohibitively expensive for widespread deployment.
