Visors in Malta

The World Health Organisation (WHO) and local authorities are constantly updating their guidance when it comes to the containment of COVID-19. As new evidence and studies come to light, more is known about this virus and how we can better protect ourselves from catching or spreading this disease. Visors are becoming increasingly common in Malta and Gozo and will soon become the norm in all retail outlets as and when these re-open for business. This item of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) has the benefit of shielding the eyes, nose and mouth in one go rather than requiring goggles and a mask. Many retail employees have struggled to communicate effectively with masks which can muffle a voice and have no ability to ‘lip read’. The visor allows for easier communication while still providing excellent protection. Retail outlets in Malta and Gozo are fast realizing that a Visor is the ideal product for their personnel in the current climate.

What is a visor?

A visor is defined as: a movable part (of a helmet) that can be pulled down to cover the face. The face shields that we offer are attached using a head strap pulled over the wearers head and this keeps the visor in place. The durable plastic shield protects the face from any airborne particles and can be worn over a face mask for added protection. One of the great benefits of a face visor is that the eyes and mouth are visible which is important in certain situations when interaction is required.

How much are Visors in Malta?

Visors are easily worn for extended periods and will likely be more comfortable than wearing a mask for a full shift or day in the workplace. Because of their longevity, Visors are more expensive than disposable masks which are often discarded after a short period of use.
