Respiratory protection at work


 

Safety guide and essentiachecklist for working safely

Every day, millions of workers around the world are exposed to dust, gases and contaminants that can affect their respiratory health. But how many of them really know the specific risks of their sector and the appropriate protection to deal with them?

There is no one-size-fits-all solution: every work environment presents different hazards and requires specific protective equipment. That's why we have created the BLS Safety Guide, a practical document that will help you identify the hazards in your industry and choose the most effective respiratory protection.

 

Why the BLS Safety Guide?

Respiratory protection should not be overlooked or taken for granted. Our Safety Guide was created to offer concrete support to those who work in risky environments, with clear information that can be applied immediately.

By downloading it, you will discover:

  • The main respiratory risks for each sector, from the chemical industry to construction, medical and manufacturing.
  • Which protective equipment is most suitable depending on the type of exposure (fine dust, toxic gases, chemical vapours, etc.).
  • How to recognise the signs of hazardous exposure and take action to prevent damage to health.
  • The relevant regulations to ensure safety at work.
  • Best practices for the correct use of respiratory protective equipment.

5 Checks to do every day

To ensure effective respiratory protection, it is essential to perform a number of essential checks every day. These steps help prevent exposure to harmful substances and ensure that personal protective equipment (PPE) works properly.

  1. Check the risk of your working environment: what substances might you inhale? Are you exposed to chemical dusts, gases or vapours?
  2. Check if you are using the correct PPE: is the mask or filter you are using suitable for the type of contaminant present?
  3. Make sure the PPE is in good condition: a damaged or worn device does not offer adequate protection.
  4. Wear the mask correctly: a poor fit or a failed fit test may compromise effectiveness.
  5. Keep your attention high: effective protection starts with risk awareness and the correct use of equipment.

These checks are an essential first step, but complete protection requires knowledge and awareness. And that is where the Safety Guide comes in.

fevereiro 21, 2021 February 2020 - February 2021: a year that has changed us - BLS

Covid19 almost reached us - coming 60 kilometres from our company - on 21 February 2020. And from then on our life was changed forever.2020 was, for us, a year on the frontline of the Covid19 emergency. During the Coronavirus pandemic, we changed from a “niche” company to being at the centre of a production system of essential goods for the protection of people's health: thanks to machines designed and engineered internally, and to the synergies with universities and market partners, we have always been able to have a competitive production, even with respect to China. All this without increasing the prices of our facemask, supplying hospitals, old people’s homes and law enforcement, supporting various associations with the donation of over 40 thousand masks.
