Is your respiratory protection equipment (RPE) keeping your people safe?
In many workplaces, respiratory hazards pose significant health risks to workers. Implementing a respiratory protection awareness program is crucial for safeguarding employees from harmful dust, fumes, vapours, and gases. Such a program not only contributes to the prevention of chronic respiratory diseases, but also ensures immediate protection against inhaling dangerous substances.
By promoting long-term health and well-being and contributing to compliance with regulatory standards, a respiratory protection awareness program can prove to be an invaluable asset for both workers and employers. It empowers workers with knowledge and encourages safe practices, ultimately fostering a healthier and more productive work environment.
Respiratory Protection! Fit Testing! New Codes of Practice!
It seems like the biggest conversation in industry today centres around the “new requirements” for respiratory protection. These rules are not new, and neither is the threat to the health of your employees if they are exposed to airborne contaminants.
If the rules haven’t changed, what has? The level of enforcement that businesses are facing has tripled in the last year and will only increase. If your business includes processes that expose workers to airborne contaminants, you should expect your visit from WorkSafe eventually.
The new Codes of Practice provide guidance on how to meet the requirements for providing respiratory protection. Without exception, companies must ensure their workers are trained and understand the risks of airborne contaminants and how to use Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) correctly.
This short course meets the obligation of this training with a thorough explanation, in plain language. Straight to the point and powerful, this package answers the questions your staff have, and sets the stage for the enforcement of a robust Respiratory Protection Program.
