AS/NZS 1715:2009 : Selection, use and maintenance of respiratory protective equipment for boat building and shipwrights

Do you use compressed air breathing equipment in your boat workshop? If so, are you aware of the relevant Australian workplace standards to which your equipment and respirators need to comply?

Compressed air is a versatile utility, that is widely used throughout the metal industry. Some compressed air applications are, however, more critical than others.

Compressed breathing air is important to protect welders and grinders from harmful chemicals and harsh environments.

Air compressors work by drawing in ambient air at atmospheric conditions and compressing/storing it for use at a higher pressure. Ambient air is often contaminated with water vapour, dust, dirt and hydrocarbons to name but a few. When compressed, the concentrations of these contaminants can rise above the levels considered safe for breathing.

AS/NZS 1715:2009 compliance for the boat building and shipwrights industry

AS/NZS 1715:2009: Selection, use and maintenance of respiratory protective equipment is the Australian standard applicable for anyone using compressed air for breathing applications, including welders and grinders.

Regular inspection of compressed air purity is a critical component of this standard within the boat building and shipwrights industry.

Ensure your workers are safe and you’re compliant with SafeWork NSW Legislation

Regular analysis and certification of your compressed breathing air systems are not only a legislated duty, but it is also the right thing to do to ensure employees aren’t being harmed by poor quality breathing air at work.

Achieving correct purity levels within your spray painting business is simple and easily achievable in well maintained and monitored systems.

Don’t let complacency or ignorance put your employees, yourself or your business at risk
