Frequently Asked Questions

Respiratory protection is required when an exposure assessment indicates that employees are exposed to respiratory hazards that cannot be controlled through engineering or administrative controls. Situations include the presence of harmful dusts, fogs, smokes, mists, gases, vapors, or sprays, especially when these hazards may cause serious health issues such as lung impairment or diseases.

To select the right respirator, conduct an exposure assessment to determine the type and concentration of airborne contaminants. Consider factors like job-site conditions and worker characteristics. Understand the assigned protection factors (APFs) and choose respirators that provide adequate protection based on these factors.

Respirators vary based on the type of hazard:

  • Particulate Hazards: Use air-purifying respirators with appropriate filters (e.g., N95, P100).
  • Gas and Vapor Hazards: Use respirators equipped with suitable cartridges or canisters.
  • Combination Hazards: Use combination cartridges that filter both particulates and gases/vapors.
  • Oxygen-Deficient or Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH) Atmospheres: Use supplied-air respirators (SARs) or self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).

Fit testing ensures that a respirator forms a proper seal on the wearer's face, preventing contaminants from leaking in. It is required for tight-fitting respirators and must be conducted before initial use, annually, and whenever the respirator's size, style, make, or model changes.

Respirators should be inspected before each use for cleanliness, damage, and proper functioning. Routine maintenance includes cleaning, disinfecting, and replacing parts as needed. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and establish a maintenance schedule to ensure the respirator remains effective.

In environments with unknown hazards, only supplied-air respirators (SARs) or self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) should be used. These provide a safe air supply independent of the surrounding atmosphere, ensuring protection when contaminants are unidentified or concentrations are unknown.

Respirators are not a substitute for adequate engineering or administrative controls. They should only be used when such controls are not feasible or sufficient to protect workers. Additionally, respirators may not provide adequate protection if not properly fitted, maintained, or used according to established procedures.
