3M Fit TestingThe 3M fit testing service is provided by Fit2Fit accredited personnel on the employers'

site at a day and time suitable to the employer. The scheme is a BSIF initiative

supported by the HSE which ensures fit testers can conduct a fit test to a level of

competence required in the HSE guidance note 282/28. The staff will fit test

employees on the respirator that has been issued, but also carries sufficient samples.

Safety Services

3M™ Ear Plug Fit Validation System and Loan SchemeThe 3M™ E-A-RFit™ Validation System measures the level of employee hearing

protection in just 8 seconds. Workers receive their own personal attenuation rating

(PAR) and learn how correctly inserting the right earplug increases their level of

protection.

3M is proud to offer a broad range of support and services to ensure you and your workforce are happy and confident in your choice of PPE and its usage.From downloadable posters, toolbox talks and care & maintenance guides to bookable Face Fit Testing, train-the-trainer workshops and free webinars, 3M are on hand, allowing you to focus on the most important thing, keeping your people safe.

Monitor Badges and Analysis ServiceOur NEW Organic Vapour Analysis Service is a simple and efficient means of

monitoring the personal exposure levels of your employees to gases and vapours.

It’s an essential first step towards achieving legislative compliance, and to choosing

the right Respiratory Protective Equipment. Visit 3M.co.uk/ExposureDetection for

more information.

3M Air Quality TestingIf you use compressed air fed respirators your air supply needs to be of

breathable quality and sufficient flow and pressure to provide

adequate protection. We can test both air quality and flow to give you

complete peace of mind.

Fit testingUsers of respirators with a tight fitting facepiece should be fit tested as required by

the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (COSHH). Respirators

with tight fitting facepieces include disposable respirators, half masks and full face

masks, including those that form part of a powered or airfed respirator.

For further information on fit testing options and support please call the 3M Helpline

on 0870 60 800 60 (UK) or 1800 320 500 (IRL) Alternatively visit 3M.co.uk/fittestrespirator

3M offers a broad range of Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) for protection against gases, vapours and particulates.

Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) must be both adequate and suitable for the

work to be undertaken. Different types of RPE offer different levels of protection. To

be classed as adequate the level of protection selected must be capable of reducing

exposure to hazardous substances to an acceptable level. The RPE must also be

suitable for both the wearer and the situation, e.g. it must fit the wearer, be

comfortable to wear, be robust enough for the environment in which it will be used

and be compatible with other PPE.

There are disposable and reusable types of RPE. Consideration must be given to the

storage and maintenance of reusable types to ensure both workers and the

investment in PPE are protected. Maintenance of RPE will involve ensuring that

trained personnel are available to conduct the work, spare parts are provided and an

administration system exists to keep records.

The broad range of RPE available from 3M offers you the chance to choose the level

of protection, comfort, style and maintenance options you need to work effectively

and safely.

Selecting and specifying the appropriate respiratory protective equipment can seem daunting with so many factors to consider. With our simple three-step selection system however, it’s easy to make sure the disposable respirator you choose is offering the correct levels of protection and comfort required by your employees.

STEP ONE Which protection factor suits your needs?

FFP1 Respirators FFP2 Respirators FFP3 Respirators Speciality Respirators

Protection factor APF 4 APF 10 APF 20 APF 4 or 10

Typical applications Low level fine dust/oil or water based mists (hand sanding, drilling and cutting)

Moderate level fine dust/oil or water based mists (plastering, cement, sanding and wood dust)

Higher level fine dust/oil or water based mists (hazardous pharmaceutical powders, biological agents and fibres)

Fine dust/oil or water based mists. Options for metal fume, ozone and nuisance levels of certain gases and vapours dependent on model

Easy identification Identified by YELLOW straps Identified by BLUE straps or valve lettering

Identified by RED straps or valve lettering

Protection level can be identified by the strap colour or valve lettering

Classification explainedWhen used correctly by a wearer who has passed a face fit test, an FFP1 respirator should reduce exposure

to airborne particles by a factor of 4, an FFP2 by a factor of 10 and an FFP3 by a factor of 20.

Disposable respirators are additionally classified as R reusable, or non-reusable. R products may be cleaned,

stored and reused provided they are in good condition. Non-reusable products are intended for single shift use only.

Look for the R marking in the following pages, otherwise all 3M disposable respiratory products are non-reusable.

STEP TWO Choose a valved or unvalved respirator?

Benefits of the 3M™ Cool Flow™ Valve• Reduces exhalation effort

• Cooler to wear

• Stays comfortable for longer

• Less likely to mist up eyewear

Benefits of a non-valved respirator• Lower unit cost

• Prevents the wearer from contaminating their environment

STEP THREE What style?Choose from our Premium, Comfort or Classic ranges or a Welding or Speciality respirator for specific applications. Some of our ranges offer a cup-shaped and flat-fold respirator for your preference.

Flat-Fold

Step 2: Choose your 3M filters

Gas & Vapour Protection explainedEN14387, the European standard for gas filters, classifies gases and vapours into the following groups, each of which are designated a standard colour coding. There are coloured bands on 3M 6000 Series filters using this coding to denote the nature of the protection that each product provides.

A - Organic Vapours (boiling point >65°C). Examples of these include xylene and toluene.

B - Inorganic Vapours. Examples of these include chlorine and bromine.

E - Acid gases. Examples of these include sulphuric acid.

K - Ammonia and its derivatives.

AX - Organic Vapours (boiling point <65°C). Examples of these include acetone and bromoethane.

Complete Versatility The 3M™ Versaflo™ Respiratory Protective Systems are designed as modular systems where parts can be mixed and matched as needs and preferences change. For example, if a user of a 3M™ Versaflo™ TR-300 Turbo and 3M™ Versaflo™ S-533 Hood now requires impact protection for their head they can simply replace the hood with a helmet. If a process changes introducing a hazard that cannot be filtered the system may be converted from powered air to supplied air by replacing the turbo unit with a 3M™ Versaflo™ V-500 Regulator. This versatility allows users to adapt to changes in hazards, work practices and their personal preference.

3M Eye Protection solutions offer superior quality eyewear and provide an optimal balance between style, comfort, protection and design.

ComfortMore than 70%* of employees surveyed stated that they don’t wear eyewear when needed as it isn’t comfortable enough. This shows the importance of balancing comfort and safety. Many of our products come with adjustable features and soft materials at points of contact in order to improve comfort.

ProtectionOver 50% of people who have used 3M safety spectacles said they used them because of the quality and protection provided. Our broad range of products includes durable anti-scratch coatings, Scotchgard anti-fog coating and are all approved to EN 166:2001 and are CE marked

FitWhen it comes to eyewear, a comfortable well fitted workforce is likely to be more effective. We studied the difference is face shape and sizes throughout the world to bring you the latest technology in 3M Eyewear.

StyleStyle and appearance of PPE can help increase employee engagement whilst employees feel proud of wearing stylish and modern looking eyewear. The 3M range of eye protection offers a variety of leading edge products to choose from.

CompatibilityEye protection often needs to be worn in conjunction with other protective equipment and it is essential that comfort and fit with other PPE is maintained. Most of the eyewear range can be used in combination with respiratory and hearing protection from 3M. Compatibility with other PPE will be subject to a number of variable factors which require the employer and end user to decide on an appropriate selection depending on individual needs.

Half Masks

Most 3M™ Scotchlite™ Reflective Materials intended for occupational garments conform to EN471 Level 2. In addition, they boast a range of features and benefits that meet various different requirements, depending on your work environment. In situations exposing your workforce to all manner of hazardous, unpleasant and dirty materials, you may require your reflective clothing to be thermally decontaminated or to withstand a wide range of temperatures, chemicals, smoke damage, oil or grime. 3M can help you find a 3M Scotchlite Reflective Material that entirely suits your needs. What additional requirements do you have?

3M manufactures a wide range of retro reflective materials that incorporate both glass bead and micro prismatic technologies. Whatever your requirements - we’ll be able to help.

EN471: A1: 2007 The European Standard for High Visibility WorkwearWith safety its primary objective, EN471 sets out exacting specifications for the performance of high visibility garments. The performance of the conspicuous materials to be used in “high visibility clothing” is specified together with minimum areas and placement of the materials.

Two levels of retro reflective materials are tabled within the standard with Level 2 providing the highest level of brightness. Most Scotchlite reflective materials for high visibility workwear meet and exceed the highest brightness category of EN471.

3M Reflective Materials

Benefits

Industrial Laundering

3M Scotchlite Reflective Materials: Industrial Wash Products can be repeatedly laundered either commercially or in a domestic 92°C

wash without compromising their performance. These materials are proven to withstand

temperatures sufficient to kill viruses responsible for HIV and Hepatitis B.

Flame Retardancy

In addition to the requirement of high visibility and instant identification, some garments are

exposed to the risk of heat and flame - whether naked flames or hot machinery, and need to

be flame retardant. A flame retardant range of 3M Scotchlite Reflective Materials is available performing to EN469, the European Standard

for Protective Clothing for fire fighters.

Comfort

3M Scotchlite Reflective Materials incorporating glass bead technology are particularly

comfortable forming an almost integral part of the garment.

We use two different technologies in our retro-reflective range of materials

Retro-Reflective TechnologiesFeatures and Benefits:
