Asbestos Respiratory Belt System

The device consists of a flexible rubber belt that secures around the waist to support respiratory equipment. It includes a connected hose that delivers filtered air to the user's breathing apparatus. A unit keeper is attached to hold the air filtration unit in place during movement. This setup ensures the respiratory components remain stable and properly positioned while the wearer performs tasks.

It protects the wearer from inhaling hazardous asbestos fibres that may be present in air during removal, maintenance, or inspection work. The system relies on a separate air supply unit to provide clean, breathable air, isolating the user from contaminated surroundings. By preventing inhalation of asbestos particles, it reduces the risk of respiratory diseases such as asbestosis or mesothelioma. The protection is effective only when used with a compliant air-purifying or supplied-air respirator.

This belt system is typically used in industrial settings where asbestos-containing materials are being handled, such as in demolition, renovation, or shipbreaking sites. It is worn by trained workers who require mobility while maintaining a sealed connection to their air source. The belt allows freedom of movement without disconnecting the hose or shifting the filtration unit. Proper training and fit-testing are required before use in any asbestos-related task.
