Respiratory protection services
Using our expertise, you can reduce the insurance, training and equipment costs of performing these services in-house.
An effective respiratory management programme ensures that respiratory protective equipment (RPE) truly protects your workforce by combining correct selection, training, fit-testing, inspection, record keeping and appropriate storage into a structured process tailored to the hazards and work environment.
| 1. Correct PPE selection ensure RPE is adequate for the identified hazard and suitable for the task, environment and wearer before issue. |
4. RPE inspections and maintenance inspect, clean and maintain RPE regularly to ensure it continues to deliver the intended level of protection. |
| 2. RPE training provide training so users understand respiratory risks and can correctly don, use and care for their RPE. |
5. RPE inspections recorded keep accurate records of inspections, maintenance and training to demonstrate compliance and support audit requirements. |
| 3. Face fit testing carry out face fit testing by competent specialists to verify the tight seal of close-fitting RPE for each wearer and mask type. |
6. Suitable storage for PPE store RPE cleanly in dry, accessible conditions that prevent damage and contamination. |
Face fit testing
Stay safe with proper respirator fit
If you wear a tight-fitting respirator for protection against hazards at work, you will be required to have a face fit test to make sure the respirator fits correctly and therefore protects the wearer from the hazard.
RPE maintenance
Ensuring your RPE stays safe, compliant and fully effective
Respirators are often used by untrained wearers, operated while damaged, or left without essential inspections and scheduled servicing. Inadequate cleaning, poor storage, and missing maintenance records further reduce their protective performance. Proper, competent upkeep is critical to ensure every wearer receives the protection they rely on.
