Breathing Apparatus

Breathing Apparatus should be used when working in an environment
where there is the potential to be exposed to hazardous substances
or environments e.g. adhesives, paints, cleaning agents, dust fumes,
gas vapours etc. In any circumstance where a conventional respirator
may not provide adequate protection, breathing equipment should always
be used instead. If there is any doubt then don’t take any risks,
ESS Safeforce will ensure you meet any legal compliance.
Respiratory equipment can be divided into two classes:
1. Breathing Apparatus
2. Respirators (which include all tight fitting respirators such as
full face masks, half masks and disposable respirators)
What is Breathing apparatus?
Self contained breathing apparatus supplies the wearer with breathable
air. They can be used in all kinds of work and rescue operations and
provide the user with breathable air in toxic or oxygen deficient
environments. At ESS Safeforce we offer a range of breathing solutions - emergency escape,
short duration and full working sets for various industries.
It is vital for the safety-conscious employer to ensure they provide
the correct fit of all tight fitting respirators including full face
masks, half masks and disposable respirators. This is especially critical
with the advent of the new COSHH revision for Respirators and Breathing
equipment.
A Face Fit Testing service is readily available from ESS Safeforce
to test the facial fit of your breathing apparatus. Go to our Face Fit Testing page for further details of this service.
