RPE Training

Basic RPE Training – Prior to Face Fit Testing

This is highly recommended for the first time user, as it is very important how the wearer Donns/Doffs the RPE.

They must have knowledge of this before their Face Fit.

Fitting the RPE incorrectly can lead to failure of the test and may cause exposure to contaminated air whilst being used.

We offer Basic course in Donning/Doffing and Pre-Use Checks of the RPE before the candidates perform their Fit Test.

Basic Training Session lasts 1 hour approximately for up to 8 candidates.

We recommend that candidates undertake a full RPE training course.

RPE Training

This course is to give a good understanding of RPE for the first time user. It is very important that the selected mask the wearer is using performs correctly and does not expose them to any breathable hazards. This can be caused by incorrect Donning/Doffing or not performing the Pre-use checks. From FFP’s (Disposables) up to Full Face Masks, our session covers the following procedures in depth depending on the type of RPE being used.

We deliver a powerpoint and practical demonstration explaining the Regulations including; checking the mask before Donning, types of filters, maintenance, storage, checks whilst wearing the mask correct doffing of the RPE and most importantly practicing CORRECT FITTING. This can be the biggest cause of failure, leading to exposure to the wearer.
