Committed to safer workplaces through effective respiratory protection.
MGS is no longer providing respiratory fit testing and silica awareness training.
However, We could see a real need for these services in the Mining/Exploration Industries, so came the creation of MRS.
Munro Respiratory Services can assist with Respiratory Mask Fit Testing. Contact kate@munrorespiratory.com.au for more information and bookings.
Legal & Regulatory Requirements
Under the NSW Work Health and Safety Regulation 2025, employers (PCBUs) must ensure that all respiratory protective equipment is suitable, properly fitted, and maintained. Fit testing is required wherever tight-fitting respirators are used to manage airborne hazards — including drilling, dust-generating, or other high-risk work.
