3.4.5.5 Disposal
To establish the safest disposal method, this will require a risk assessment by your organisation.
However, Corpro can advise the following:
Pre-filter itself –
The pre-filter should be disposed of after each use.
•
As the product is made from a thermal bonded polyester, it may be recyclable. Check with
your local authorities to establish the possibilities.
•
The product may be classified as hazardous waste, depending on your working environment.
This will need to be established. If this is the case, an appropriate disposal method should be
outlined by your organisation and followed.
•
If the product is not classed as hazardous waste and recycling protocols have been evaluated,
it should be disposed of or recycled as applicable in a controlled waste area at the
occupational site / an agreed third-party site.
Holder –
The product is made out of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic and so can be easily
recycled. It should be thoroughly disinfected before recycling.
•
Depending on your working environment, you may not be able to recycle the holder as the it
may be classed as hazardous waste. This would need to be checked and, if classed as
hazardous waste, the appropriate disposal method should be outlined and followed.
•
If not classed as hazardous waste and recycling protocols have been evaluated, the product
should be disposed of or recycled as applicable in a controlled waste area at the occupational
site / an agreed third-party site.
3.5 Spares
Spares are provided to ensure both the HM1400 half mask and the FFM1600 full face mask can be
easily maintained and parts can be replaced as and when necessary. All components are replaceable
in both the HM1400 and FFM1600 respirators. Some spares changes should only be undertaken by a
trained person at a Corpro Service Centre as, following certain changes, the mask may need to be
tested to ensure it is fit for purpose and to check it conforms to standards. Whether a particular spare
part change is ‘Corpro Service Centre only’ will be specified below.
The following instructions will be given in pictorial form (and video, if available). Written instructions
will be provided only if further clarification is needed following the pictorial instructions. If additional
advice is needed on how to change certain spares, please contact your Corpro Representative.
