Safely working
with breathing protection
Our mehchanics are specially trained for these activities with independent breathing air. With compressors and filters or compressed air bottles. Our mehchanics are equipped with professional breathing air equipment and are inspected every year.
We always arrive with two men for all breathing air activities. The special activities may therefore never be carried out alone. A certified manwatch must be present. The latter is necessary to keep an eye on everything and to be able to assist in the event of calamities. During the activities, we always work with independent breathing air, supported by various gas meters.
The direct ambient air is not inhaled. Due to the fact that there is not enough oxygen or when substances are present that are harmful to the health or safety of our employees.
Periodic maintenance
Inspection and testing
During inspections it is sometimes necessary to perform the inspection with breathing air. Consider entering silos where gases are (or may still be) present. The steel silos that we clean (also with breathing air) are inspected internally. All other systems are inspected externally and can be inspected without special equipment. Except in the case of doubt or damage, we will enter the manure storages with breathing air.
But we can also perform internal inspections of cellars and concrete silos for cracking, for example.
Maintenance and repair
Working with breathing protection
Because breathing air is a separate profession, our employees are trained for this and each is periodically tested for health, theoretical knowledge and practical skills. This makes it familiar for everyone to work with breathing air bottles and hoses.
We carry out certain activities in which manure (or other hazardous substances) are present with independent breathing air. This includes entering and/or repairing net silos, corrugated sheet silos, concrete silos, manure bags and manure basins. But we can also safely carry out maintenance on mixers in cellars, basins and silos in this way.
We always carry out all common activities with special gas meters that measure all hazardous substances present.
