Self-contained breathing apparatus Note: Level B respiratory protection specified by OSHA is identical to Level A respiratory protection. The hazards involve \"atmospheres that Chemical resistant clothing (overalls and long sleeved present severe inhalation hazards and that do not represent a severe jacket, chemical resistant coveralls) skin hazard; or that do not meet the criteria for use of air-purifying respirators.\" Coveralls (under splash suit)* Gloves, outer, inner; chemical resistant Boots, outer, chemical resistant, steel toe and shank • Boots, outer, chemical resistant* • Two-way radios (intrinsically safe) • Hard hat LEVEL C LEVEL C To be selected when the concentration(s) and type(s) of Full-face, air purifying respirator (MSHA/NIOSH approved) airborne substance(s) is known and the criteria for using Chemical resistant clothing (one piece coverall, hooded two air purifying respirators are met: piece chemical splash suit, chemical resistant hood and 1. Full-face or half-mask air purifying respirators apron, disposable chemical resistant coveralls) (NIOSH approved). • Gloves, outer, chemical resistant 2. Escape mask (optional). • Gloves, inner, chemical resistant* Note: In 29CFR§1910.120 (g) (iii) (vi) OSHA requires that respirators • Boots, steel toe and shank, chemical resistant be selected and used in accordance with 29CFR§1910.134. Cloth coveralls (inside chemical protective clothing)* Respirators (NIOSH approved) other than those described in Levels Two-way radio communications (intrinsically safe)* A,B,C, and D may be more appropriate and may be used to provide Hard hat*, Escape mask* the proper level of protection. Thus, where Level A or B respiratory protection is not required (eg. In a non-IDLH atmosphere), but air- purifying respirators are inadequate because of the presence of excessive concentration levels of gases or vapors having poor warning properties, suitable airline respirators may be used. LEVEL D LEVEL D No respirator is required. However, OSHA does specify Primarily a work uniform and should not be worn on any an \"escape mask\" as optional equipment to insure a site where respiratory or skin hazards exist. safe escape should an inhalation hazard unexpectedly and suddenly appear. 323

Manufacturer Recommendation Using the Manufacturer's Recommendation to determine a cartridge's service life Chemical and respirator manufacturers may be able to provide an estimate based upon their own expertise and testing data. Steps Example 1. Obtain the following information: Steve is the owner of an auto body shop, where the workers are exposed to paint vapors. The airborne • names of airborne contaminants chemical is Xylene. Steve determined through • concentrations of those sampling that the amount of Xylene in the air doesn’t exceed 400 ppm. The local weather conditions contaminants (in parts per million) suggest an expected maximum of 55% relative • humidity in work area humidity. Steve figures his painters and other helpers • work rate have a moderate breathing rate — their work is not as vigorous as shoveling snow. 2. Contact the manufacturer of the Steve went to the Advisor page called \"List of Manufacturers\" where he located the address, fax respirators you plan to use number, and phone number of SafetyFirst, the makers of BreathEZ respirators. He phoned SafetyFirst and 3. Provide the manufacturer with the was directed to the Research Coordinator. following information: Steve explained to the coordinator that he had just • name of the respirator model purchased 5 new BreathEZ 450 Half Mask • information from step 1 Respirators. He explained the situation and gave the necessary data. The coordinator said he would get back with Steve shortly. 4. Request the cartridge service life as When the coordinator called back with an estimated cartridge life recommendation of 190 minutes, Steve well as the exact objective information asked him to fax a report indicating the exact they relied upon to project that service procedures and objective data that were used to derive life. the service life. 5. Create a written change schedule for Steve applied a safety factor to the manufacturer's suggested cartridge service life and had his employees the cartridges change their cartridges every two hours. He included the report from SafetyFirst and his safety factor modification in his written respiratory protection program. . Minger Construction Co., Inc. will always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for respirator cartridge scheduled change. 324

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION 29 CFR 1910.134 (Mandatory) Information for Employees Using Respirators When Not Required Under the Standard Respirators are an effective method of protection against designated hazards when properly selected and worn. Respirator use is encouraged, even when exposures are below the exposure limit, to provide an additional level of comfort and protection for workers. However, if a respirator is used improperly or not kept clean, the respirator itself can become a hazard to the worker. Sometimes, workers may wear respirators to avoid exposures to hazards, even if the amount of hazardous substance does not exceed the limits set by OSHA standards. If your employer provides respirators for your voluntary use, of if you provide your own respirator, you need to take certain precautions to be sure that the respirator itself does not present a hazard. You should do the following: 1. Read and heed all instructions provided by the manufacturer on use, maintenance, cleaning and care, and warnings regarding the respirator’s limitations. 2. Choose respirators certified for use to protect against the contaminant of concern. NIOSH, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, certifies respirators. A label or statement of certification should appear on the respirator or respirator packaging. It will tell you what the respirator is designed for and how much it will protect you. 3. Do not wear your respirator into atmospheres containing contaminants for which your respirator is not designed to protect against. For example, a respirator designed to filter dust particles will not protect you against gases, vapors, or very small solid particles of fumes or smoke. 4. Keep track of your respirator so that you do not mistakenly use someone else's respirator.
