Anchor Safety make it easier to select respiratory protection equipment (RPE) which measures up to the job.

You need to be well prepared to work in some of the toughest environments. When your workplace hazards are challenging, it is vital to have a completely reliable RPE solution that won’t let you down. You could be dealing with asbestos or silica fibres, facing dangerous gases such as ammonia or chlorine, worrying about chemical mists produced by spray paints or fumes caused by welding or smelting: if you or your employees are breathing in any of these, you are in danger of serious and possibly life changing damage to your health.

If the exposure is likely to be uncontrolled or prolonged, you need to be completely certain that your facemask and breathing equipment are reliable, tough and tailored to the correct hazard. Anchor Safety understand that safety is paramount and can provide the necessary technical advice to help you protect all workers and ensure you know how to select respiratory protective equipment correctly.
