Leanne Evans wins gold, crowned European Champion

C&D Consultancy were happy to sponsor a rising star of the UK Taekwon Do discipline recently who is seen as a potential future gold medal hope for the 2012 Olympics.

So far she hasn't disappointed and we have just learnt she has won Gold in all three categories she entered in the European Championships being held in Croatia this week. The good news doesn't stop there though, she has also been crowned European Champion!

The 2012 Olympics can't happen soon enough and lets hope she continues to improve, stay fit, and keep winning over the next 3 years before the big event.

Thanks to Demolition News for the heads-up.

RPE (Respiratory Protective Equipment) Employee Awareness & Fit Test

The requirement for RPE Face Mask Fit Testing is described in the Approved Code of Practices supporting:

• The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (COSHH) 2002


• The Control of Lead at Work Regulations (CLAW) 2002


• The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006

Face mask fit testing is a legal requirement for checking that a tight fitting face mask matches the person's facial features and seals adequately to the wearer's face. It will also help ensure that incorrectly fitting face masks are not selected for use.

An inadequate fit will significantly reduce the protection provided to the wearer. Any reduction in protection can put the RPE wearer's life in danger or may lead to immediate or long term ill health. Correct fitting of the face masks at all times is vital to prevent exposure.
