Description
The unique inner face seal helps maintain a close and snug fit around the chin area, which is generally regarded by experienced fit testers to be the main weakness on standard design disposable respirators. Working very closely with the fit2fit accreditation scheme and numerous users, Alpha Solway has developed a simple solution to an industry-wide problem. The Alpha S has many features: • a unique inner face seal • 4-point adjustable head strap • latest filter technology to reduce breathing resistance • pre-formed nose bridge to help maintain a consistent fit Conforms to EN149:2001+A1:2009 FFP3 NR. S-3V S 3V
In line with HSE guidance document HSE INDG479 all wearers of tight-fitting respirators should be fit tested as part of the initial selection of the RPE. A fit test should be repeated on a two-yearly basis. In addition, fit testing should be repeated if there is a change to the RPE type, size, model or material or if there is a change to the circumstances of the wearer that could alter the fit of the RPE.
