Subject: Mandatory Consultation for the Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) SOP [OFFICIAL]

Good Afternoon
I hope you are well. Please see attached version 0.06 of the proposed new Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) SOP for mandatory consultation. The owning department (Health and Safety) have asked us to circulate this, as the provisions within are proposed to go live and come into effect on Monday 29th May. To that end, could I please ask that you review the SOP and provide any comments you wish to make no later than Monday 22nd May. This date has been set in order to allow the owning department to review your comments and update the SOP as required prior to publication. You will note that there is no EqHRIA attached to this email. A copy of the EqHRIA will be circulated once finalised.

Please let us know if you have any questions prior to submitting your feedback. We will direct these to the author for a response.

Please provide your consultation feedback on the feedback form attached.

Regards [Redacted Section 38(1)(b)]
