Respirators (dust masks, half face masks etc.) are a common tool for controlling exposure to dusts and chemicals. However, PPE is last on the hierarchy of control because many factors can affect how well they protect people from the hazard. A Respiratory Protection Programme (RPP) is key to be able to manage respirators correctly so you can be sure they are reducing exposure. We will discuss the following important points to help you develop a robust RPP.
The webinar will cover:
-
- The key features of a good RPP
- Who should run the programme
- Fit testing and facial hair management
- Selection of the right respiratory protection
- Cartridge change schedules
- Training and maintenance
