Facefit testing

An inspection of a site in Leicestershire in week 2 of our Health Inspection Initiative found this power tool being used without water suppression to cut bricks containing silica. RPE was available and accessible on-site but not being used. The operative had not been face-fit tested for his RPE and when inspected, it was filthy, damaged and ineffective. As a result, enforcement action was taken against the principal contractor for the site, who will receive a bill from HSE under fee for intervention (FFI).
