Newton Safety Technician can now provide a service to industrial sand blasting, paint booth & diving compressor environments in the way of breathing air quality testing, using the instrument of choice for monitoring the purity of breathing air in the low pressure range. In combination with the Dräger Oil Impactor, our system achieves an unprecedented quality of breathing air monitoring for end user by Using the Dräger Aerotest Alpha Test System .

Contamination in compressor supplied air can be a serious health risk. Compressor breathing air quality testing provides confidence to the Employer to provide a safe place of work, and to workers that rely on the system for air.   

The breathing air quality testing requirement for air supplied respirators is often one of the least understood elements of compressed-air-supplied breathing air equipment. Workplace Health and Safety Law requires that breathing air meet specified requirements and be tested to an agreed schedule as detailed in Australian Standard 1715:2009, Selection, Use and Maintenance of Respiratory Equipment, and for AS 2299.2007 Occupational Diving Operation must meet the following requirements.
