With the impact of Covid-19 on the local communities and the world, A27 Consulting has been diligently trying to help others navigate this trying time. From our research and conversations, the best approach for individuals, businesses, and services to resume some normal function is to take proper safety precautions. As we all acknowledged or have learned over the last few weeks, this is done through washing hands, social distancing, and personal protective equipment. It has taken time, but A27 Consulting has been able to source FDA approved high-quality face masks. These masks are manufactured to medical specifics but are produced for the civilian / Industry market, ensuring not to compromise the supply for the healthcare industry. With the comments coming out on Wednesday, May 25th from Theresa Tam, that Canadians should wear masks as an "added layer of protection" just like in Europe and other parts of the world inventory and price gouging will probably become an issue here. The oil and gas industry is already looking to have guidelines in place for June 1st. Our goal is to ensure that local communities and businesses have the best opportunity for success during these unconventional times. If, at any point, your organization is looking for the procurement of high-quality face masks, please let us know. We have attached the spec sheet and the FDA Medical License for your review. We truly appreciate your time and our only goal is to ensure everyone has access to the best resources during this difficult time. Sincerely Matt Sargent President A27 Consulting Ltd.

SEEKING THE HIGHEST QUALITY SUPPLY CHAIN

Our team has diligently worked from the onset of the pandemic to create and implement strategies for safe work practices for modern construction, industrial, and manufacturing operations.

• How do we go back to work safely?• How do we protect our people, their families, and create a

lower risk environment?• How do we restart the economy?

We leveraged our experience in direct sourcing to find stable and consistent manufacturing partners with uninterruptable as possible supply chain.

Our focus is on quality, driven by North American standards, backed by fac-tory oversight with a full-time inspector on the ground at the manufacturing facility

Our supplier is an accredited factory that manufacturers to North Ameri-can and European specifications under the FDA and CE certification

Supply chain control through factory-direct distribution model - focus on lean operations and leanest possible product margin.

We think single-use face coverings that have North Ameri-can compliant safety certifications are an economically vi-able option to reduce the risk in work environments.

2 Accordion Style DesignForming of the mask provides additional surface area for filtration and comfort room - many types use less material, but more flexibil-ity means greater comfort and performance

1 Mouldable Metal WireThis feature ensures a snug and comfort-able fit for all-day wear and operation. Longer metal wire allows a better fit on face reducing fog in glasses or eyewear

Designed for Performance.SINGLE USE THREE LAYER MASKS

4 Three Layer DesignNon woven fabric, middle melt-blown cloth with N95 rating and then nonwoven comfortable and skin-friendly base layer

3 Quality Ear LoopsHigh quality with cloth-covered elastic ear loops with high breaking resistance

Designed for industrial use applications our mask product line uses medical-grade technology to support industrial worksite operations.There is variability in the effectiveness of homemade and cloth masks. Several studies have found that they provide inferior protection against droplet and aerosol particles compared to surgical masks and N95 respirators.

Usage RecommendationManufacturer Usage Recommendation Replace mask every 2-4 hours, or as required

Research-Based Opinion At this point, there are no occupational health and safety guidelines for general industrial use to regulate the use of face coverings. Our opinion is to follow the mask manufacturer's guidelines until guidelines are created or changing more often as required by usage

How to properly wear a face mask • Distribute face masks in sealed packages• Train team in the importance of safeguarding the mask allotment and

the importantace of being clean shaven: reference CSA Z94.4• Wash Hands following World Health Organization, or all regional

health authority recommendations• Inspect face mask for quality, for example tears, broken loops• Position the colored side of the mask outwards (it is essential to have

the mask on in the proper position)• Make sure the metallic strip is at the top of the mask and positioned

against the bridge of your nose.• Hold one elastic loop in each hand, and place one loop over each ear

so that the mask is covering both nose and mouth• Adjust nose piece with the mouldable metal wire to bridge of the

nose, by pinching and pressing down on it with your fingers• Pull the bottom of the mask, completely covering your mouth and

chin• Be sure the mask fits snugly• Don't touch your face, or the mask once in position • Wash hands, before and after apply or removing the mask• If the mask is soiled or damp, replace with a new mask immediately

Disposal Recommendations Most health standards allow this to be placed in a covered trash bin and disposed of via regular waste disposal - check with your local authority for a recommendation.

Cautions and Limitations This mask is NOT a NIOSH approved N95 respirator - while this mask com-plies to FDA medical standards, it is not intended for medical use.
