Save you and your company time and money with the Optrel Swiss Air PAPR system. 
With no requirement for face fit testing your staff are not required to take time out from work to complete these tests and neither are they required to be clean shaven. 
The Optrel Swiss Air PAPR is approved to the highest class, TH3. For those with facial hair and in need of respiratory protection this mask is perfect, being a positive pressure system it requires no face fit testing. 

In any application that you are required to wear respiratory protection such as an FFP2 or FFP3 mask then the Optrel Swiss Air sold by Noz-Alls can save you money, save your lungs and be considerably more environmentally friendly than any disposable alternative. 

How do you save money with the Swiss Air? 
In accordance with HSE regulations, wearers of masks that require a face fit should not be used for more than 60 minutes before a break (UK) other countries may vary slightly such as the Swiss rules of 75 minutes with 15 minutes break. 
Not only do you save money in terms of down time but the ongoing cost of disposables compared to a Swiss Air unit saves money in the longer run too. No staff having to take time out for face fit tests, just pop it on and work. Do you or your staff use disposables? Maybe one before lunch and one after? 

Lets run a conservative example. 
Assuming you only ever buy one type of mask and only need one face fit test - £30
2 Masks a day @ £3 per piece - £6
Staff down time based on the Swiss 75 minutes working time rule @ £10 per hour – 5x 15 minute breaks. Lets assume that you or your staff change tasks and do something else while not wearing a mask in a clean environment… 
What we haven’t included is all the order processing costs, delivery costs, waste disposal costs and various other administrative costs associated with having to buy more often in terms of disposable masks.

The annual cost assuming 48 working weeks in the year - £1470. With the Swiss Air – you are saving money even after the first year of use! 

How do you save your lungs? (And your legal battles)
The Optel Swiss Air is approved to the highest standards – TH3 and conforms to EN12941.
This means you are protecting your lungs from future damage. Lung damage may not be well represented in industrial accidents and deaths while at work but it is the number one for work related illnesses and deaths. 

The best bits of this filter unit is that there is no requirement for flow testing every time before use (more time saving) thanks to the onboard automatic flow adjustment. Couple that with no fit test requirement means there is no admin, no paperwork and no storage required for your paperwork that you might need to produce in 40 years time to prove face fit testing.

Save on waste and plant trees.
For every Swiss Air unit sold there will be numerous disposable masks saved from landfill. Not forgetting all the plastic bagging and fossil fuel used to deliver every consignment. 
To help offset the CO2 used in the production of each Swiss Air – for every purchase, Optrel will plant a tree! 

Where can the Swiss Air PAPR system be used?
Maybe you are a farmer, welder, scientist, wood worker, miller or even a pigeon fancier. Pretty much anywhere where a clean air supply is required then this mask is perfect. 
Protection from flour, feathers, dust, saw dust, wood chip, wheat, cereal and of course welding fume. 

With flow rates from 100 lpm to 130 lpm you can set the mask to the most comfortable setting for your environment. In most circumstances this will probably be 100 lpm. With a battery life of up to 14 hours you may only need to charge this unit every other day however if you do get caught out, the battery can be charged both in and out of the PAPR unit. So plugging in a spare battery doesn’t mean you have to wait to charge the flat one. 

The mask and headband weighs only 210g so neck fatigue is almost eliminated and with a main filter weight of 550g safely harnessed to you back you will barely notice it.
