Face-Fit Testing in Coalville

Professional Face-Fit Testing in Coalville

If your employees wear tight-fitting respiratory protective equipment, the law requires it to be face-fit tested to the individual wearing it. A mask that does not seal offers almost no protection, and no amount of training or supervision compensates for a poor fit. We provide HSE-compliant qualitative face-fit testing at your premises.

Based in Coalville, Leicestershire, Integral Safety is ideally positioned to serve businesses in Coalville. Choosing a local consultancy means testing at your premises on a date that suits your production schedule, without sending people away or losing a shift.

Coalville and the surrounding North West Leicestershire district have plenty of work where RPE matters: quarrying and aggregates generate respirable crystalline silica, construction and demolition disturb older building fabric, and local engineering and fabrication firms weld, grind and cut.

Respirable crystalline silica is the one that deserves particular attention around here. It is a serious long-term hazard, the exposures involved are invisible, and dust masks are frequently issued without any check that they seal to the wearer.

Coalville and the wider North West Leicestershire district have shifted from coal to distribution. The town sits at the junction of the A42, A511 and M1, which has made it one of the busiest logistics locations in the country, and Bardon Hill quarry remains a major industrial presence. Alongside that sit engineering firms, builders merchants, manufacturers and a substantial trade and construction sector.
