Summary/Abstract: The occurrence of biological hazards in the work and life environment often necessitates the use of appropriate respiratory protection equipment. This requires knowledge of both the basic issues arising from EU legislation and the specificity of the selection of this equipment, taking into account its protection lass and the time of its safe use. In this regard, a widely available and easy-to-use mobile application will be helpful, as it was designed for the selection and monitoring of the duration of use of respiratory protection equipment by individual users. The article describes in a synthetic way the basic legal requirements for respiratory protective equipment and the results of surveys regarding the experiences of users of such equipment and their expectations as to the functionality of the application. General assumptions for the development of the application were also presented.
