Respirator Fit Testing, Inspecting, and Cleaning
To protect the health and safety of your team members, it is imperative that respirators fit each person properly. A tight seal around the face and neck protects by providing proper filtration to remove hazardous substances.
Saturn Safety examines respirator fits to test the effectiveness of the seal on each of your team members, as per CSA standards. Fit tests can be done at your job site and upon successful completion, we provide you with records to match your team members with their masks. Fit testing should be done before the first use of a respirator and re-testing is recommended annually.
Fall Protection Inspections
Alberta’s OH&S Code requires employers to have a fall protection plan when a team member may fall 3 metres or more, and if there are no protective guardrails in place. While fall protection equipment should be checked before every use, harnesses, lanyards, and anchor straps must be inspected annually to ensure they continue to meet safety standards.
Saturn Safety’s certified experts inspects for broken, burned, or pulled stitching and rivets at hardware attachment points, and examines all webbing, belt ends, buckles, and D-Rings. Upon determining if there is any need for equipment repairs, we will arrange for those to be taken in and will send you the appropriate information.
DOP/PAO HEPA Testing
A DOP or PAO test is a process that tests the integrity of HEPA filters by utilizing a dispersed aerosol solution. By certifying that HEPA filters are fully functional, without leakage or damage, you are creating and maintaining a safe work environment for your employees. Any materials that contain HEPA filters should be tested every time the equipment is moved or being used on a new project. On long jobs, filters should be tested every four weeks.
Saturn Safety offers on-site DOP testing for your HEPA equipped air movers. Our safety experts are fully trained to conduct site hazard assessments and adhere to your site requirements.
First Aid Kit Inspections
First aid kits are filled with items designed to help in an emergency, but how useful are these when they expire or deteriorate? First aid materials should be checked regularly and audited to ensure you always have what you need for any project.
Saturn Safety checks for unsafe or damaged products, expiration dates, and ensures all required items are present in your first aid kit. We also provide a wide range of first aid products, including basic at-home kits.
Custom Spill Kits
Many industries work with hazardous substances that can cause serious consequences if exposed. Spill kits are specifically designed to clean up dangerous spills in the most safe and efficient way possible. After a risk assessment process, Saturn Safety builds and provides custom spill kits to meet your unique needs. Absorbent and neutralizing materials are tailored to assist with containment, clean-up and disposal.
Safety Surveys & Site Checks
Identify safety risks on your job site before they occur
Employers are responsible for providing safe work sites for their teams. In Alberta, legislation requires you to have a safety program in place if you have over 20 team members! A safety survey can reveal risks on your job site, enabling you to know where to make changes.
Benefits of conducting a site safety survey include:
- preventing fines and penalties
- reducing costs associated with time loss and WCB claims
- retaining and improving team satisfaction
