Face Fit Testing Will be Available From 9:00 AM-12:00 PM.

This may be particularly useful for anyone who regularly works with asbestos and is due to review their RPE arrangements.

Face fit requirements will depend on the nature of the work, the RPE being used and whether there have been changes to the individual's role or working arrangements.

Julia from RPE2FIT will be carrying out the face fit testing.

If you'd like to arrange a face fit appointment, please contact Julia directly: julia@rpe2fit.com

Why ACS & RPE2FIT?

This training brings together two specialist organisations with complementary expertise.

ACS has been helping organisations manage occupational health and safety risks since 1978, delivering consultancy, compliance services and accredited training across asbestos, health & safety, fire, legionella and wellbeing.

RPE2FIT, a Glasgow-based specialist established in 2015, provides Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) training, quantitative and qualitative face fit testing, equipment guidance and compliance support across the UK and Ireland.

Together, we have developed a practical training programme that combines workplace health and safety expertise with specialist respiratory protection knowledge, helping organisations better understand, control and manage silica dust exposure.
