SCOTT SAFETY For all business owners, the health and safety of employees is paramount, especially for businesses operating in high-hazard industries. With the introduction of tougher Sentencing Guidelines earlier this year, failure to place workforce wellbeing as a top priority could have serious ramifications for those who do not comply.
One of the top concerns for organisations operating in hazardous industries is airborne contamination from harmful dust, mist and fumes that could be breathed in by employees irreversibly damaging their respiratory systems. This is why prevention is key and Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) is such a key consideration when workers risk contact with harmful airborne pollutants.

TOMORROW’S HEALTH&SAFETY
Ergonomically designed, Duraflow features a simple user interface but with a sophisticated flow control mechanism behind the scenes. It incorporates audio and visual diagnostic alerts that warn of a drop below the correct flowrate or when the powerful lithium-ion battery needs re- charging. Featuring IP67 rated ingress protection with decontamination kit fitted, the unit can also be submerged when cleaning is required.
times, ensuring workers remain fully protected during the most arduous of tasks. This technology combined with its lightweight but durable construction, means that the Duraflow is ideal for those who work in the most demanding environments such as mining and chemical industries – keeping them safe and cool.
The versatile PAPR is compatible with a wide assortment of Scott Safety headtops and filters that can be selected based on the individual user’s needs and by the determined hazard level. It is also important to remember that to reduce any additional respiratory burden to the user, it is advisable to change filters regularly in accordance with the work risk assessment. For any business that is unsure about the type or level of filter required for a particular task Scott Safety is able to offer guidance and has made available its SureLife software which can be found online by visiting
