Respirator Training
This training programme provides the necessary information to
form a satisfactory understanding and awareness of the issues
relating to the selection, use, maintenance, cleaning and storage
of RPE according to current legislative requirements. It is aimed
at personnel who wear RPE as part of their daily activities.
In order to obtain the maximum protection required for the use
of Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) the wearer requires a
full understanding in the use, maintenance and storage of the
equipment in the correct manner.
Employers must ensure that adequate training is provided to all
personnel who use RPE in the workplace before first use. The
training will include:
- Selection and Use of RPE
- Correct Donning and Doffing Procedures
- Current Legislation
- Basic Maintenance Requirements
- Cleaning
- Storage
- Respirator Face Fit Testing
- Record Keeping
- Final Assessment
Employers are required by law to ensure that suitable training
for RPE is provided before first use to all existing and new
personnel. Refresher training should be provided at suitable
intervals.

using a TSI Portacount particle counting device in line with
current legislative requirements.
