Respiratory Protection is divided into two types:

 

1. Breathing Apparatus (BA) needs a supply of air from a clean source (for example, an air cylinder or air compressor). BA may be used in situations with reduced oxygen levels (less than 19%).

2. Respirators (filtering devices) use filters to remove contaminants in the workplace air and allow workers to breathe safely in hazardous environments.

NOTE: Respirators should never be used in situations with reduced oxygen levels such as confined spaces.

Respirators can be either: negative pressure (non-powered) respirators which rely on the wearer’s breathing to draw air through the filter; or positive pressure (powered) respirators that use a fan to pass air through the filter to give a supply of clean air.

Both types of RPE are available with a range of face pieces: masks, hoods, helmets and visors providing respiratory, head, face, eye and hearing protection.
