Arco Respiratory Protection Service

Respiratory Protection

Current legislation demands that an employer:

  • Provides suitable respiratory equipment for their employees
  • Provides suitable training in the use of the equipment
  • Ensures the equipment is maintained and records are kept.

Arco can meet all these requirements, ensuring legal compliance.

No other company offers the range of respiratory protection equipment and essential support services that are all part of Arco's safety management services.

Respiratory Protection Face Fit Testing

New legislation requires that all Class i (breathing apparatus) and Class ii (respirators) such as tight fitting respirators, full face masks, half masks and disposables are face fit tested.

Respirators are designed to reduce the concentration of a pollutant. Respirators do leak and most leakages occur around the face seal.

The Portacount Fit Test equipment measures how much leakage occurs during normal usage, therefore poor wearing procedures or inappropriate equipment will be highlighted by the Face Fit Testing protocol.

Arco can provide an on site face fit service which includes basic respiratory training.
