Respiratory Protective Equipment

Respiratory Protection Equipment (RPE) is a vital part of your Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) kit, used to protect the individual wearer against the inhalation of hazardous substances in the air within working environments. Respiratory Protection Equipment (RPE) is available in a range of forms, including dust masks and air-purifying filter respirators, which enables employees to work in dusty environments without damaging their health.

Our valved masks are less likely to leave eyewear misty, they are cooler to wear and are said to be much more comfortable. Our unvalved masks provide great protection whilst remaining excellent value for money.

RPE such as respirators and dust masks will only be effective if maintained properly and taken out of use when they are no longer effective. When RPE is not in use it must be kept in a clean storage area to reduce the risk of damage, contamination or deterioration. This should be easily accessible by employees. The use of other head-worn PPE, for example, ear muffs or hard hats, can impact the wearing of respirators, and it’s important to check that it is fitted tight against the skin to prevent any gaps from appearing.

It’s essential to understand the needs of the user when choosing respiratory protection equipment. Do they have asthma? Skin allergies? Wear glasses? Respiratory protection needs to be suitable for the individual wearer, the environment they’re working in and the task they’re undertaking. This will ensure the employee can conduct their duties without being impeded by respiratory equipment. Different levels of RPE will be necessary for the individual environments, and it’s essential to understand the risk factors that are present before specifying what Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) is required. Our staff can advise you what is best for your individual needs, so please don’t hesitate to contact us, where our experienced team is waiting to help.
