The programs covers:
- What constitutes a hazardous atmosphere
- General information about air-purifying and supplied air respirators
- Details of the different types of air-purifying respirators
- A detailed look at filters
- Appropriate selection and fit testing of air-purifying respirators
- Details of the two common user fit checks – the positive pressure fit check and the negative pressure fit check, and
- General guidelines that includes information on maintenance, storage, inspection and danger signals.
Who it’s for:
If you are required to wear a respirator in the workplace this means that you are working at a task, or in an area, where there is a threat, or a potential threat, to your health. It is therefore important that everyone who is potentially exposed to hazardous atmospheric conditions is fully trained about the dangers they may face and what precautions they need to take.
