The Speedglas Powered Air Training Academy (SPATA) has been launched in Australia and New Zealand to provide workplaces with a set of online video training modules to educate and train staff in line with the suggested syllabus set out in the Australian and New Zealand Standard 1715 for workers using respiratory protective equipment.

As a welder or company that relies on 3M Speedglas Welding Helmets with Powered Air Purifying Respirators, this training package has been made completely free of charge for you and/or your business.

Occupational health and safety legislation requires employers to provide the welder with information, training, and instruction in the proper use of PPE. The SPATA program has been prepared in combination with occupational hygienists, welders, and industry professionals, to save your business time, hassle, and expense when it comes to training your welders on the proper use of their PPE. Simply use the SPATA program to assist in ticking that box.

And for welders, this program will take you through how to get the most out of your gear and ensure you are getting the protection you require.

The training program includes the following 10 video modules:

Module 1: Welding Fume and Exposure Limits

Module 2: Set-Up and Initial Checks

Module 3: Your 3M Adflo Powered Air Purifying Respirator

Module 4: Your 3M Speedglas Welding Lens

Module 5: Your 3M Speedglas Welding Helmet and Harness

Module 6: Changing Core Spare Parts and Consumables

Module 7: Extra Protection and Optional Comfort Options

Module 8: Maintenance - Cleaning, Storage and Record Keeping
