Our newest service
Our Compliance director Alex Hawk had recently gained his Fit2fit accreditation, which means he will now be able to ensure the proper safety of workers where it is essential to have a safety face mask.
Workers who are exposed to substances such as dust, asbestos or any other harmful substances or chemicals will have to ensure a proper seal on their mask in order to comply with safety regulations- which is where we step in.
It is know that industries that are heavily reliant on respiratory face masks have to have regular checks as it’s a legal requirement to do so. Which is why a health and safety consultancy like ourselves, now makes it easier than ever to get your mask checked out in less than 20 minutes per person! Read on to find out the reasons why you may have to undergo a Fit2fit test.
The Legal Imperative:
Across diverse industries, workers depend on respiratory face masks to shield themselves from hazardous substances—be it dust, chemicals, or other pollutants. A secure seal is imperative to ensure effective protection, a fact acknowledged by regulatory bodies that have instituted legal requirements mandating workers to undergo testing for the proper fit of their masks.
The Risk of Inadequate Seals:
The consequences of an inadequate seal are twofold. Not only does it expose workers to increased risks of hazardous material exposure, jeopardizing their health, but it also opens the door to potential legal ramifications for employers. Recognizing the gravity of this issue, we delve into a holistic solution designed to safeguard the integrity of respiratory face mask seals.
The Service:
This service entails a meticulous process of assessing and verifying the seal on a worker’s respiratory face mask. Alex will conduct thorough tests, ensuring the mask forms a secure and airtight fit. Beyond mere compliance with legal requirements, this service goes the extra mile to guarantee the highest safety standards for workers.
How It Works:
Initial Assessment: Workers using respiratory masks can schedule an assessment. During this initial phase, our health and safety advisors will gather pertinent information about the worker’s job role, the type of mask in use, and any specific considerations.
Physical Testing: The core of the service involves hands-on physical testing to assess the seal of the respiratory mask. We will then utilize industry-standard techniques to ensure a snug and effective fit tailored to the individual wearer.
Feedback and Recommendations: Following the assessment, workers receive detailed feedback on the condition of their mask seal. Should any issues be identified, our experts provide recommendations for corrective actions, including adjustments to the mask or suggestions for a more suitable model.
Periodic Follow-ups: This is not a one-off service. Recognizing the dynamic nature of workplace conditions, we prioritize ongoing safety through periodic follow-ups. Regular assessments ensure that workers consistently enjoy the highest level of protection.
