SPEEDGLAS POWERED
AIR TRAINING ACADEMY
T
HE SPEEDGLAS POWERED AIR
Training Academy (SPATA)
has been launched in Austral- ia and New Zealand. Its pur- pose is to provide workplaces with a set of online video training mod- ules to educate and train staff in line with the suggested syllabus set out in the Australian and New Zealand Stand- ard 1715 for workers using respiratory
protective equipment.
What’s more, if your company cur-
rently employs 3MTM SpeedglasTM welding helmets with powered air purifying res- pirators, this training package is com- pletely free of charge.
As you may know, occupational health and safety legislation requires employers to provide the welder with in- formation, training, and instruction in the proper use of PPE. The SPATA pro- gram has been prepared — in combina- tion with occupational hygienists, weld- ers, and industry professionals — to save your business time, hassle, and ex- pense when it comes to training your welders on the proper use of their PPE.
Simply use the SPATA program to assist in ticking that box.
The training program includes the fol- lowing 10 video modules:
MODULE 1: Welding Fume and Exposure Limits
MODULE 2: Set-Up and Initial Checks MODULE 3: Your 3M Adflo Powered Air Purifying Respirator
MODULE 4: Your 3M Speedglas Welding Lens
