Title: Where respiratory protective equipment (RPE) is used
Post by: Gerry1964 on October 14, 2016, 05:03:45 PM

Where respiratory protective equipment (RPE) is used as a control measure under Health and Safety Legislation (see paragraph 6), it is vital that the selected RPE is adequate and suitable. RPE must reduce exposure to as low as reasonably
practicable, and in any case to an acceptable level (e.g. below any applicable Workplace Exposure Limits or Control Limits)
