Breathe Easy With Total Protection UK
With an increase in accidents at work, employers need to make sure that ‘despite the credit crunch, breathing apparatus is not one of the casualties’, this was the message of Deryck Wicks, Managing Director of Total Protection UK, the leading provider of health and safety equipment as work based accidents were found to be on the increase.
The law is very clear that breathing apparatus should be adequate and provide the wearer with effective protection, be suitable for the intended use and be correctly maintained, examined and tested, but still some firms are snubbing safety in favour of profits.
Sales and Marketing director, Mark Haylett from Total Protection UK , who are the leading firm offering Breathing Apparatus , Confined Space Equipment , Gas Detection and Height Safety equipment, said, “ We are pleased to be able to offer our customers with the very latest cutting edge safety equipment. One of our most popular products is our MSA AirGO Pro. It is by far the best breathing apparatus set on the market as it offers not only low cost of ownership but its state of the art components ensure long life and minimal maintenance.”
One of the main problems encountered with traditional breathing apparatus is that of stress and fatigue. The AirGo Pro offers the user with an ergonomically designed back plate, which evenly distributes weight and keeps the unit close to the body, which in turn reduces strain.
Approved to EN 137:2006 [2] standards, the AirGo Pro also features a comfortable, padded shoulder straps and hip belt, which can be easily adjusted to suit all users.
According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), 340 people died between 1999 and 2007, highlighting the stark reality of work related incidents in the UK.
Mr Haylett added, “ The market is flooded with so many breathing apparatus products, and that can be extremely confusing. Employers should always speak to a professional to get sound yet practical advice, especially when it affects the health and well-being of your employees
