Construction Industry Support Through CCHRC Training<\/h2>\r\n\r\n

The focus over the years on reducing the number of accidents on construction sites has generated impressive results. However, there are some real issues and concerns surrounding Ill Health currently within the Construction environment and the same effort must be afforded to Ill-Health management. Attendance on this course is heavily supported and recommended by The Health in Construction Leadership Group (HCLG), Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and BOHS Breathe Freely.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

    Face Fit Train the Tester Course Overview<\/h2>\r\n\r\n

    INDG 479 recommends that RPE Fit Testing should only be conducted by a trained and competent person. To be competent, the fit test operator should have adequate knowledge and have received adequate instruction and training.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

    Recent research indicates that up to 50% of all RPE used does not offer the wearer the level of protection assumed and one of the major reasons is that it simply does not fit!   Yet, under the regulations RPE must be correctly selected and this includes, for many types of RPE, a face piece Fit Test conducted by a trained and competent person.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

    Why perform a fit test?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n

    If you provide respiratory protective equipment (RPE) to your employees then it is essential that you have documentary evidence to show the RPE fits the wearer. By subjecting each wearer to a face-fit test you can be sure that your organisation is fulfilling the requirements laid out in the Health & Safety Executives (HSE) guidance notes INDG 479 & HSG53,<\/p>\r\n\r\n

                    \r\n\t
                    • finding out what the health hazards are<\/li>\r\n\t

                      Most businesses use substances, or products that are mixtures of substances. Some processes create substances. These could cause harm to employees, contractors and other people.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

                      All UK employees who wear tight-fitting respiratory protective equipment (RPE) must, by now, have a certificate to prove that the protective equipment they wear during work not only fits them, but also affords them the effective protection necessary for the task being performed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

                      This is a method used for checking that a tight fitting face piece matches the person\u2019s facial features and seals adequately to the wearers face. It also helps to ensure that poorly fitting face pieces are not selected for use. An inadequate fit will significantly reduce the protection provided to the wearer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

                      If a fit test is not performed, then an unsatisfactory seal \/ barrier may unknowingly exist. This could allow excessive leakage of airborne contaminants into the wearer\u2019s breathing zone, even though the user is wearing a respirator correctly selected for the application.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

                      Entry Requirements<\/h2>\r\n\r\n

                      Persons attending MUST<\/u><\/strong> be clean shaven. The fit test cannot be carried out if there is any hair growth between the skin and the face piece sealing surface e.g. stubble beard growth, beard, moustache etc. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

                      The wearer should not eat, drink (except plain water), smoke or chew gum for at least 30 minutes before the test.<\/p>","assessment":"

                        A fit test should be carried out as part of the initial selection process for RPE and where an untested facepiece is in use.
