This website will provide information and tools for employers and others who may need to use RPE in the workplace.

Rating of perceived exertion (RPE) is an outcome measure scale used to gauge one's exercise intensity without the need to rely on physiological parameters such as peak O2 uptake, heart rate and lactate levels. RPE is used extensively by rehab professionals to aid in exercise prescription.

Respiratory protective equipment (RPE), also called protective breathing equipment (PBE) in the US, [1] is a form of personal protective equipment designed to protect the wearer from a variety of airborne hazards in the form of a gas, fume, mist, dust or vapour. Respirators filter the air to remove harmful particles and alongside the breathing ...

2013年6月17日 · RPE protects the individual wearer against inhalation of hazardous substances and particles in the workplace air. RPE should be considered as a last resort and only be used after all other reasonably practicable control measures have been taken.

What is "Assigned Protection Factor" (APF) of RPE? In simple terms, APF is the level of respiratory protection that can realistically be expected to be achieved in the workplace by using a properly functioning and correctly fitted RPE. A RPE with an APF of 10 indicates that the equipment, if used properly, can provide adequate

RPE is divided into two main types: Respirator (filtering device) – uses filters to remove contaminants in the workplace air , there are two main types: Non-powered respirators – rely on the...

An RPE programme encapsulates all the elements of RPE use you need to ensure that your RPE is effective in protecting the wearers. To have an effective RPE programme you need to: Correctly select...

2024年11月18日 · Respiratory protective equipment (RPE) serves as a crucial barrier between workers and hazardous environments, shielding them from inhaling harmful substances such as dust, fumes, vapors, and biological agents. The significance of RPE cannot be overstated, particularly in industries where exposure to airborne contaminants is an everyday risk.

DBE increased BHT more than KBP & PLB interventions (p < 0.05), but not more than AVP (p > 0.05). One-way ANOVA of four interventions revealed significant variation for RPE change (p < 0.05), for AVP. Conclusions - AVP reduces RPE maximally during breath-holding, whereas DPE increases BHT more.
