Respirable crystalline silica, or also referred to as RCS, is one of the most common naturally occurring elements on the planet. Found in the earth's crust crystalline silica is a key component of soil, sand, granite and other naturally occurring minerals. According to HSE, respirable crystalline silica (RCS) is the second biggest risk to construction workers, following asbestos. In fact, it was revealed that it was responsible for between 10 and 20 annual deaths over the last ten years.

Scott Safety have injected significant investment into the latest robotic technology to deliver impeccable quality control and eliminate ´human error´ from respirator filter production. This is especially critical to particulate filters where errors could mean a matter of life or death to asbestos removers.  Every single filter is meticulously checked for the minutest defect using an advanced vision system which measures part type and position.  The pen is tested using an inline ATI tester penetration level, carbon height and even whether the right lid is placed on the right filter.The system takes photographs of the filters at multiple points during production and digitally compares them to a flawless filter, instantly rejecting those that show signs of defects. As a result of implementing this versatile form of automation and setting tight criteria for rejection, Scott Safety consistently produces filters that exceed the industry standard for quality. 

Inside Scott Safety´s factory, the latest robotic technology works round the clock to produce the highest filter quality ensuring the protection of asbestos removers. Every single particulate filter is individually analysed at the end of the production line and any failing its maximum 0.05 percent penetration level test are instantly discarded. This significant technological investment supports one of Scott Safety´s corporate pillars of ´Zero Defects´ and ensures that rigorous quality and reproducibility is meticulously achieved. As the robots work optimally 24/7 without the need for a break, Scott Safety also delivers unrivalled turnaround in production and delivery of its filters to customers.A key issue that Scott Safety is keen to raise with the asbestos removal community is that of particulate filters. They are asking the big question: Is your powered air respirator still certified?
