D.O.P.Testing
If you’re using HEPA filtered equipment, do you really know if it is working? Negative air machines and HEPA vacuums, by their very nature are prone to leakage. This is mainly because they are small and portable, and thus are transported from workplace to workplace in the backs of trucks. Here, they are subjected to substantial rough handling by workers. This action can create leaks in units that were previously tested, giving personnel a false sense of security. In essence, your units should be tested anytime they are transported from one workplace to another.
FIT Testing
Are you sure you have the right fit? Do you know if you have the right fit? The correct fit is required by regulations. If you have never had your respirator fit tested before, or it hasn’t been done in the last two years, then it is time to get your fit test. Safety Express Ltd. can test you on our site, on your site, or at the job site. We don’t just sell products, but we have the answers to all of your questions.
Breathing Air Quality Testing
Air Sampling should be performed on Compressed Breathing Air Systems when they are moved from one location to another prior to having your employees hook their supplied-air respirators into the system. This requirement follows the CSA Standard and will ensure the requirements for the purity of the compressed breathing air. Safety Express Ltd. will do the sampling and provide the laboratory report analysis.
Testing suggested guide lines:
D.O.P. Testing
Should be done on site where the unit is being used and where there is a requirement to filter out contaminants that are a cause for health concerns. Asbestos or mold abatement are examples of where this testing should be done.
Fit testing:
Fit Testing should be done every two years, although, should be done when changing brands, loss or gaining of weight and if any facial surgery is done.
Qualitative fit testing
A pass or fail assessment of the adequacy of a respirator. A qualitative fit test determines whether or not someone can detect various scents or flavors or can experience a negative reaction to a substance that can cause burning, watering eyes.
Note: Can only be used for half face masks.
Quantitative fit testing
An assessment of the adequacy of respirator fit that uses numerical measurement of the amount of leakage into the respirator. Quantitative fit tests use a probe inside the face mask.
Note: Can be used for both half and full face testing.
Breathing Air Quality Testing
Should be done on site prior to using compressed breathing air systems
