I Don’t Want To Spend This Much Time On N95 Masks. How About You?
Q: I was wondering if the N95 masks I wear would prevent me from getting a fine or being fired because I was found with dust in my mask when doing my job?

While it may not prevent you from getting fired, it may preclude you from receiving any kind of compensation for the exposure you received. N95 masks cannot be used for asbestos and they don’t provide protection from gases, vapors, or cosmic rays.
