Ensuring Safe Breathing Air with Quality Testing
Argos Fire Safety provides breathing air quality testing, which plays a crucial role in maintaining the health and safety of workers who rely on compressed air for respiratory protection. The assessment is conducted according to the Australian Standard AS1715:2009 to ensure that the air supplied to workers through their masks or hoods is at least as good as the normal air they breathe.
Compliance with these standards is mandated by the Work Health and Safety Act 2020 and the Work Health and Safety (General) Regulations 2022 in Western Australia. Regular testing is essential to identify any contaminants and ensure an adequate supply of clean air.

Why and how often do we need to test your air breathing equipment?
To maintain a safe working environment, it is recommended to conduct breathing air quality testing every six months. This regular testing ensures that workers using compressed air for breathing purposes are not exposed to unnecessary risks. By adhering to the guidelines outlined in AS1715:2009 Appendix A, businesses can prioritize the health and well-being of their employees. Regular air quality testing not only protects workers but also serves as an indicator of the overall air quality produced by air compressors.
What does the testing involve?
Breathing air quality testing is conducted using specialized equipment such as the Factair F4000. The testing process involves measuring and assessing various factors, including oil mist, water vapor, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, oxygen levels, air temperature, and air volume. Trained technicians use calibrated sampling equipment and analysis methodologies to obtain accurate results. A certificate of compliance is issued, outlining the air quality findings, along with any recommendations for improvement, in accordance with AS1715:2009.
