Trosolwg o'r swydd

Since October 2019, face fit testing for Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) has been mandatory under Health and Safety legislation (COSSH). Fit testing has been a critical element of the NHS Covid pandemic response under PHE guidance but has a much wider impact on staff and patient health and safety and wellbeing.

 

The main purpose of this post is to deliver quantitative and qualitative fit testing, issuing of Powered Air-Purifying Respirators (PAPR or “Hoods” for short), RPE maintenance, RPE advice and associated administration, as part of the Trust’s RPE resilience programme.
