Protection Against Airborne Hazards

Respiratory protective equipment is essential for workers that are exposed to airborne hazards such as particles, gases, fumes, vapours, and biological contaminants.  Respiratory protection equipment is designed to provide effective filtration to prevent breathing in of the hazard by the wearer. Working environments with airborne hazards include demolition & waste removal, construction, medical and healthcare, chemicals and fertilizers, and workshops that use paints, solvents & cleaners.

  

URSafeRite’s range of PPE respiratory protection supplies the correct gear for your workplace safety and legal compliance. Our range provides products that are designed & manufactured according to Australian Standard AS/NZS 1716 and as applicable the relevant new suite of international standards for respiratory protection.

Advanced Respiratory Protection for Demanding Work Environments

Demanding work environments require advanced PPE respiratory protection solutions offered by URSafeRite including:

  • Reusable half-face & full-face masks with replaceable filters (for particulate hazards) and cartridges (for gases/vapours).
  • Powered and supplied air respiratory (PAPR) systems which supply filtered purified air to the user wearing a full facepiece or head-top hood.
  • Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) systems with a built-in portable air supply from a cylinder or emergency life support tank.

Advanced particle filtration options are provided by P2 rated protection (mechanically/thermally generated from grinding, cutting, sanding, drilling & sawing) and P3 rated (toxic irritants and mechanically/thermally generated, only when used with a full-face respirator or PAPR).  Combination particle and gas/vapour cartridges are also available.

Our advanced respiratory protection provides the best choice for professionals who demand comfort, protection, and high performance with features such as adjustable straps, cushioned face seals, and lightweight yet robust materials.  We also offer solutions to integrate respiratory protection with other PPE such as protective hard hats, eyewear, and hearing protection.
