BSIF launches campaign to tackle workplace respiratory protection
The campaign aims to help employers address the key factors in workplace respiratory protection.
The British Safety Industry Federation (BSIF), through its Respiratory Protection Group, has relaunched the ‘Clean Air? Take Care!’ campaign.
The move is backed by a range of online guidance resources aimed at helping employers and wearers address the key factors in workplace respiratory protection.
A concertina leaflet has been produced to reinforce essential respiratory health and safety messages in workplaces across the UK.
It is intended for both employers and respiratory protective equipment wearers, providing a straightforward reminder of the principles behind effective respiratory protection.
The leaflet has been developed as a practical resource for employers, health and safety professionals, supervisors and workers.
It presents key information in a simple format and gives direct access to more detailed guidance using QR codes on every page.
The campaign covers topics including recognising invisible airborne hazards, controlling exposure at source through ventilation and extraction, understanding legal responsibilities, choosing the right respiratory protective equipment, face fit testing, training users, maintaining equipment and buying from trusted suppliers.
Each section includes a QR code for more information and practical resources.
