We were proud to exhibit at the Australian Institute of Occupational Hygienists (AIOH) Annual Conference 2025, one of the most important events in the occupational health and safety calendar.

Held from 1–3 December, AIOH 2025 brought together occupational hygienists, safety professionals, regulators, and industry leaders to explore emerging risks, new technologies, and future-focused approaches to worker health protection.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by and shared insights with our team.

Strong Conversations Across High-Risk Industries

Throughout AIOH 2025, the Aimwell™ booth attracted strong interest from professionals across mining, construction, manufacturing, and other high-risk sectors.

Many conversations focused on a shared challenge:

👉 how to deliver high-level respiratory protection without compromising comfort, mobility, or productivity in demanding environments.

It was encouraging to see growing industry demand for practical, worker-friendly respiratory solutions.

Spotlight on Aimwell™ Around-Neck PAPR Technology

One of the highlights of AIOH 2025 was the response to our World-Leading Around-Neck Powered Air-Purifying Respirator (PAPR) Series.

Attendees were particularly interested in:

• The around-neck design, low profile and light weight, enabling greater freedom of movement and simplicity to use.
• Unique loose-fitting solution without hose and belt, yet compatible with beards and facial hair, no need for fit testing.
• Advanced AYO™ TALK-MIC wireless speaker system as an Add-on to our PAPRs.
• Great value for money, designed for widespread use.

We’re proud to share a Major Milestone:

In addition to being fully certified to AS/NZS 1716: 2012 with PAPR P3 class, the AYO™ WX FFM-LF Loose-Fitting Full-Face Mask PAPR and AYO™ WX HFM Half-Face Mask PAPR have both successfully passed EN 12941:2023 type testing, achieving TH3 class.

This is great news for workers with beards, or for organisations that wish to avoid/reduce fit testing.

This certification reinforces our commitment to make our PAPRs practical and flexible to use without compromising protection and compliance.
