Breathing Equipment is essential to protect the
health of employees working within industrial environments where hazardous
substances pose a threat.
While the Health and Safety at Work Act and, more recently, COSHH
regulations have raised awareness of the dangers posed by hazardous
substances – as well as promoting and encouraging employers to take
preventative measures to protect employees – there are still many
instances where the necessity for breathing equipment is ignored.
In some instances while carrying out maintenance, workers may be
required to perform tasks where they are exposed to contamination
for only short durations. The level of risk may seem insignificant
and the use of breathing equipment unnecessary, however, continuous
or regular working within these conditions without protection can
pose a serious health risk.
Breathing equipment What you need to know
Self contained breathing equipment provides the wearer with a supply
of breathable air. They are 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 apparatus
to protect employees whilst working in hazardous situations.
It is vital for any safety-conscious employer to ensure they provide
their employees with 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 Apparatus.
