Totally agree with Chris +
What level of RPE is the guy using. Is it FFP2 or FFP3 if so then you may need
to increase to a half face with twin filters.
Hope this helps

Dear List
Please help.
We have an employee who has been experiencing symptoms such as sore throat,
coughing, tight chest etc since the commencement of employment this year. (only
reported recently) Symptoms not there outside of environment.
The area is art and design. A risk assessment has been completed and
elimination of possible cause/s has begun, however, after being on leave for a
few weeks whilst the area was being industrially cleaned, the employee has
returned with immediate symptoms (not even doing activities). The industrial
clean was not a very good standard, therefore, dust and clay particles etc are
still laying on very high shelving etc....
We have provided PPE, there is extract in place with ventilation.
The employee has been in this trade for 6 years and has not experienced these
problems before.
Is there an allergy patch test or something that anyone knows of that may help
identify any sensitivity?
Regards and thanks in advance.
