Respirator Full Facepiece, Large, Black

The fundamental goal of any respiratory protection program is to control occupationaldiseases caused by breathing air contaminated with harmful dusts, fogs, fumes, mists, gases,smokes, sprays, and/or vapors. The defense against these contaminants is simple: keep themout of the air that workers breathe. Always implement engineering and/or administrativecontrols first. If contaminants still present a hazard, you must provide appropriate respiratoryprotection for every employee who might be exposed to them.msa can help you take a comprehensive approach to sound respiratory protection practices.this guide will help you understand the need for respirators, how they work, and what theirlimitations are.osha (the occupational safety and health administration) and NIOSH (the national instituteof occupational safety and health) regulations define all the specific requirements whichmust be followed, including the capabilities of appropriate respiratory protection.employers must follow the requirements of these governmental regulations, both thegeneral regulations which apply to all workplaces and the specific regulations for exposuresin their particular industry, such as lead, silica dust, asbestos, and ammonia.
