The purpose of this program is to ensure the protection of all employees from respiratory hazards through the proper use of respirators. Respirators are to be used only when engineering controls (e.g. enclosure or confinement of the operation, ventilation or substitution of less toxic materials) are not feasible, while engineering controls are being installed or repaired, or in emergencies. When respirators are to be used, all requirements of this document shall be met. |
