STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO PROVIDING PROTECTION

Selecting adequate and suitable RPE can appear daunting at first. With so many factors
to consider, plus such a variety of options, it can be difficult to know where to start.

1 IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS 2 ASSESS THE RISK

a At a high level, there are three types of respiratory hazard: To ensure the RPE you select is adequate to protect your workers
Particulate Hazards: e.g. mists, fumes, dusts or fibres against any harmful substances in the air around them, you need
Gas and Vapour Hazards: e.g. solvent vapours or acidic gases to understand the amount in the air and the form it takes (e.g.
Oxygen Deficient Atmospheres: e.g. often found in confined vapour or particles), to effectively assess the concentration of the
spaces and/or where oxygen is consumed by materials or combustion hazard.
