Respiratory Safety

Protecting and educating workers against harmful dusts, etc. in their work environment should be a management priority.

Engineering controls are the most effective methods of controlling exposure to airborne substances but may have to be reinforced with the use of respirators, specifically designed to reduce workplace hazards.

For example, asbestos is a prime carcinogen and the risk of contracting asbestos related diseases depends on the levels of exposure and fibre size.

The hazards are two types of cancer: cancer of the lung and mesothelioma. These diseases usually appear a number of years after exposure.
