Guidelines for Using Filtering Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE): RESPIRATORY PROTECTION Key Tips for Reliable Protection • Expert Support: Technoavia experts can help choose RPE suited to specific workplace hazards. • Product Quality: Quality is assured by experienced manufacturers with strong reputations. • Employee Responsibility: Personnel should understand RPE importance, ensure proper fit, and consult provided usage guides. Important Factors for PPE • Certified Authenticity: Ensure RPE is certified and packaging intact to avoid contamination before use. • Compliance: Following Ministry of Labor guidelines, all RPE must meet specified fit assessment criteria. Key Considerations Before Use Before selecting filtering RPE, it’s essential to understand: • Workplace Hazards: Identify harmful substances, their type, properties, and concentration, as well as oxygen levels and specific conditions in the environment. • Respiratory Hazards: Major respiratory hazards include: - Aerosols: Tiny solid or liquid particles in the air. Effective filtration uses electrostatic filters. - Gases and Vapors: Require sorbent filters, often with activated charcoal, to trap and neutralize harmful gases. - Oxygen Deficiency: Filtration devices are unsuitable if oxygen levels fall below 17%; insulating respiratory systems are required. RPE Selection & Maintenance • Equipment Compatibility: RPE for aerosols does not protect against gases, and vice versa. • Service Life: Replace aerosol masks upon breathing resistance, and gas masks when odor or irritation appears. • Proper Fit: A tight seal ensures optimal protection. Training on fitting techniques and regular fit checks are vital. • Quality Assurance: RPE from Technoavia meets Russian standards, with Certificates of Conformance. 30
