Breathing Air Test
According to HSE and U.K. laws and regulations, it is important to keep breathing air quality maintained through regular checks and testing of equipment and the compressed air supply. The U.K. Health and Safety guidelines say that breathing air tests should be carried out at intervals of every three months. Moreover, employers must ensure that contaminants are not affecting the quality of air supplied by mobile air compressor systems. As per the lawcompressed air used for breathing must comply with the levels of contamination permissible outlined in EN 12021.
RPE / PPE
Reusable Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) should be tested every month, or every three months in case of less usage while RPE tests should be recorded and these records should be kept for five years.
What Is Air Quality Testing?
Breathing air quality testing is for those workers who are using compressed air lines or cylinder respiratory equipment. Breathing air testing provides reassurance that the air they are breathing is adequately safe in the harsh and dangerous working environment.
According to AS1715:2009 Selection, one should use and maintain respiratory protection equipment guidelines to protect themselves from hazards.
Breathing air tests are used in many industries to allow workers to breathe clean air while operating in challenging environments.
A workplace environment is considered as challenging and harsh when:
- There is not sufficient oxygen to breath
- There is the existence of gases or vapours including carbon monoxide, chlorine and solvent vapour
- There are solid airborne particles like dust, asbestos, bacteria and fungal spores
- There are liquid particles like spray paint, pesticides or oil mist
