What is SPATA?
The Speedglas Powered Air Training Academy (SPATA) has been launched in Australia and New Zealand to provide workplaces with a set of online video training modules to educate and train staff in line with the suggested syllabus set out in the Australian and New Zealand Standard 1715 for workers using respiratory protective equipment.
What’s more, if your company currently employs 3M™ Speedglas™ Welding Helmets with Powered Air Purifying Respirators, this training package is completely free of charge!
As you may know, occupational health and safety legislation requires employers to provide the welder with information, training, and instruction in the proper use of PPE. The SPATA program has been prepared in combination with occupational hygienists, welders, and industry professionals, to save your business time, hassle, and expense when it comes to training your welders on the proper use of their PPE. Simply use the SPATA program to assist in ticking that box.
