Build the safety case or justification supporting respirator effectiveness assessment.
Assessing Respirator Effectiveness in Heavily Contaminated Environments
A structured, applied course in respirator effectiveness assessment — designed to be used the week you return.
Course Overview
Almost every serious incident involving respirator effectiveness assessment was preceded by a signal somebody noticed and nobody escalated. A procedure for the occupational health and safety discipline that people cannot follow under time pressure is not a control. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in this aspect of occupational health and safety that were visible long before the incident. Ambition around respirator effectiveness assessment outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. The content is relevant to those who own this strand of occupational health and safety and to those who are held accountable for its results. It treats the wider occupational health and safety agenda as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in respirator effectiveness assessment before they become incidents. Participants apply this area of occupational health and safety to their own work site throughout, so the output is directly usable. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this aspect of occupational health and safety that participants can repeat annually.
