In this seminar, you will learn the basic skills for the safe use of group 2 respiratory protective devices, such as full-face masks with P3 or combination filters, which are frequently used in the operation and decommissioning of nuclear facilities.

In addition to how the respective respiratory protection technology works and is used, the training includes information on the basic regulations of respiratory protection, how breathing works and the pollutants that occur. Alongside the theoretical content, the practical use of the respiratory protective devices is also trained.

The aim of the training is to provide employees with the necessary tools to use group 2 respiratory protective devices safely in a nuclear environment. In addition to the purely technical aspects of respiratory protection, physiological aspects are also addressed in order to create a deeper understanding of working under respiratory protection. Practical exercises and real-life examples sharpen awareness of the need for respiratory protection.  
The familiarisation exercise and the optional exertion exercise give trainees the opportunity to practise donning and doffing the respiratory protective device and using it without risk. These exercises are usually carried out with a full-face mask and a combination training filter. By arrangement, exercises can also be carried out with other respiratory protective devices and/or in protective suits.

On completion of the training, participants are able, as wearers of respiratory protective devices, to use group 2 respiratory protective devices correctly and safely in accordance with the risk assessment and after instruction.
