Loggers to Wear More N95 Masks as Timber Prices Set to Change Dramatically

Timber prices have dropped considerably in the past few years, forcing many sawmill workers to take on jobs as loggers to make ends meet. Unfortunately, some of these loggers are not making enough money to afford the proper respiratory protection needed to protect themselves from wood dust, increasing their risk of developing respiratory conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer.

When will the contract start?
The new contract will start on September 1st. Timber prices have been slowly rising for the past few years, but they are set to change dramatically with this new contract. Loggers will need to wear more N95 masks to protect themselves from the dust and debris that will be flying around. The price of timber is set to increase by 20% under the new contract. Furthermore, loggers should expect a significant rise in demand because now there is less uncertainty about future timber pricing. As a result, loggers will likely see an increased demand for their services over the next several months.

What does it mean for producers?
The new timber futures contracts set to roll out next year are expected to change the landscape of the timber industry, and producers are getting ready. Some of the biggest changes will be in the price of timber, which is set to increase dramatically. This will have a ripple effect throughout the industry, and loggers will be among those feeling the impact. To protect themselves from the higher prices, loggers will need to wear more N95 masks. Logging equipment, too, may become less cost-effective. While these changes might seem frightening at first glance, it’s important to remember that they’re not permanent; this dramatic rise in timber prices will only last until 2022.

Do I still need an N95 mask?
You may be wondering if you still need an N95 respirator now that timber prices are set to change dramatically. The answer is yes! Loggers will be wearing more N95 masks to protect themselves from the dust and debris that will be flying around as they work. So, if you’re in the vicinity of a logging operation, make sure to wear an N95 mask to protect yourself from the airborne particles. It’s important to know that these masks should only be worn for up to 15 minutes at a time. That way, they’ll last longer when used over time and protect against airborne particulates.

Where can I get my mask from?
There are a few ways to get your hands on an N95 mask. You can either buy them online or find them at your local hardware store. If you’re in the market for a new one, it’s important to know that there are different types of N95 masks. The most common type is the half-mask, which covers your nose and mouth. There are also full-face masks that cover your entire face, including your eyes. These are more expensive but they provide better protection.
