Sitting at the centre of the respiratory system are the lungs. When we breathe in, they collect the oxygen we’ve inhaled and transfer it into our bloodstream, carrying it to every one of the nearly 40 trillion cells in our body. They also collect waste carbon dioxide from our blood, so we can release it when we exhale. This is known as diffusion and it’s a vital job that literally keeps us alive! In fact, if our lungs stopped working for as little as 4 minutes, our brain would begin to experience permanent damage, and in just another 4 minutes after that, we’d be dead. This is why it’s so important that we keep our lungs healthy. For some of us, one of the biggest threats to our lungs comes from the work we do. Certain activities and working environments can pose a huge risk to our respiratory system, if we don’t take the proper precautions. Things like cutting, sanding, or polishing materials like stone or wood; working with solvents; or being exposed to certain kinds of dust, fumes, vapours, and mists, can all cause permanent damage, if we’re not careful. This Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) Training course explores what RPE is and why it’s so important, what different types of RPE exist and what they’re used for, how to properly use, maintain, clean, and store RPE, and what legal responsibilities you and your employer both share. The course can be completed in just 30 minutes and provides a printable certificate upon completion.
