Respiratory Protection

Don’t let your workers become a statistic. Ensure your respiratory management is airtight.

With around 19,000 new cases of breathing or lung problems reported annually it’s vital to ensure your respiratory protection is airtight. Exposure to harmful dust, mists, fumes, gases and vapours can put your workers at risk, with long-term exposure having the potential to seriously affect their health and wellbeing. Ill health caused by these substances is preventable if control measures are used and managed properly in the workplace.

Healthy lungs are essential to a long and active life. We only get one set in a lifetime so it's vital to look after them. At Arco, we're committed to keeping people safe in the workplace, even against hazards you can't see. Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) is designed to protect the wearer from these hazards once all other reasonably practicable measures have been put in place.

Hazards

The first step to reducing the risk is to understand the different forms of hazardous substances and how workers are exposed. The respiratory system provides the quickest and most direct route for occupational exposure to hazardous substances.

Managing Risks

It’s important for employers to first consider how hazardous substances can be prevented, reduced or controlled. Our joined-up approach starts with consultancy and expert advice to prevent, reduce or manage the risks across the hierarchy of control.

Product Selection

Selecting both adequate and suitable RPE is vital to ensure the correct level of protection is issued. One size facepiece does not fit all which is why it’s important to supply RPE that is specific for the risk and best fits the wearer.

Safety Standards

By law, employers are required to control substances that are hazardous to health under Control of Substances to Hazardous Health regulations (COSHH). Any RPE provided must be tested to the relevant European standards and carry a CE mark.
