Breathable Quality Compressed Air

In most countries, legislation demands employers provide protection for their employees. This includes when working in the presence of substances
that can be damaging to health and those employees working in hazardous environments.

Anyone working in such environments must be provided with adequate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Equipment to protect the lungs is known
as Respiratory Protective Equipment, abbreviated to RPE.

EN529:2005 states “Respiratory protective devices are designed to be worn in hazardous environments and should provide wearers with an adequate supply of breathable air gas”.

Unfortunately, it is not just a case of connecting breathing apparatus into a standard compressed air line. Compressed air contains contamination and must be treated before it can be used to supply breathing apparatus. In order to protect users of compressed air fed breathing apparatus, there are a minimum of FIFTEEN contaminants originating from FOUR different sources that must be treated.
