We can offer a full range of respiratory protective equipment tested to the relevant European Standards and CE certification

Selecting the correct respiratory protection requires a working knowledge of the relevant legislation, respiratory hazards and the various types of Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) that are available.

The selection of Respiratory Protection follows four basic step method:

Identify the hazards - Dust, mist, metal fume, gas, vapour.

Assess the hazards - Measure the hazard level. Assess other protection - skin and eye.

Select the proper respirator - Disposable half mask, full face, powered, airline.

Training in fitting and use - To optimise respiratory protection.

When matching the performance of Respiratory Protection to the measured respiratory hazard level, the Assigned Protection Factor should now be used in the place of the Nominal Protection Factor.

Nominal Protection Factor (NPF) - derived from the performance categories of the European Standards to which all respirators are tested.

Assigned Protection Factor (APF) - based on workplace protection factor studies and listed in BS4275. This figure is used for selection calculations.
