Lung protection in high risk environment

KTF Africa supplies high quality respiratory masks for industrial use, construction and high risk environments. The Breathing in of fumes, fine dust, vapours and gases has long term effects on the users lung health and quality of life. The Masks are classified according to the environment they are used in. The masks are either re-usable and disposable.

Furthermore the mask needs to fit the job.

Lung Hazards categories

These are particles that vary in size resulting from the breaking up of solids. The smaller the particle the greater the hazard that it presents.

These are clouds of fine droplets or particles formed by spraying, which can be water or oil based. Mists are often combinations of several hazardous ingredients formed by processes that involve atomisation and consist of tiny liquid droplets. Are organic or inorganic compounds that become airborne and are able to diffuse or spread freely. Gases can travel very far very quickly. These are solid aerosols that are formed when metallic vapours condense on cooling and may be produced by welding, galvanising or similar processes involving hot metal. When an atmosphere is likely to contain less than 19% oxygen, or where conditions may exist in the future to cause this to happen, the area is considered oxygen deficient and a hazard.

QUESTIONS ASK BEFORE SELECTING RESPIRATORY MASK:

What is the oxygen content?
Are there asphyxiants present?
How is the atmosphere immediately dangerous to life or health?
How is the atmosphere corrosive or likely to become so?
How is the atmosphere explosive or likely to become so?
How is there a potential of permeation of air contaminants?
What is the contaminant?
Are there climatic extremes?

Exstinguishers and Safety Signage

KTF Africa has the ability to provide Portable fire solutions. They are essential for maintaining and upholding safety standards and having the right portable fire fighting equipment on hand can be the difference between winning against a fire or having deaths on your hands due to one.

Fire fighting equipment such as portable fire extinguishers need to be light enough to carry or be wheeled for mobility so that fires may be put out fast wherever they occur. The equipment must be well maintained and easy to operate. The first thing to always make sure is that the equipment has an expiry date so as to make sure that the equipment is changed at the appropriate time.

Portable fire fighting equipment needs to be serviced monthly or annually (depending on the equipment) as this ensures it is functioning optimally. If a fire should break out, you need extinguishers that are charged, calibrated, and ready to go.
