Delegates must wear nitrile gloves when handling LPT chemicals.
A half, or full-face respirator with gas/vapour filters, rated at FFP3 shall be worn by all delegates, due to the carcinogenic nature of the LPT chemicals.
Disposable paper masks are permitted, provided that they comply with EN14387 and hold the FFP3 rating.
Half face respirators with attachable gas/vapour filters are also permitted, but must comply with EN14387 and hold the FFP3 rating.
A powered air fed mask is the preferred option for Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE), as it provides the greatest protection and comfort. Delegates must ensure that the filters are the correct type.
NOTE: Where facial hair (including stubble) obstructs any part of the seal of the mask, delegates shall either remove the facial hair, or alternatively, wear a full-face air fed mask.
This is in line with recent guidance from Network Rail regarding the correct types of RPE to be worn by individuals sporting facial hair.
Certification
A Certificate of Competence will be awarded to the delegate upon successful completion of the course. Certification is valid for 3 years.
