What is a Respiratory Protection Procedure?
A respiratory protection procedure is a written document regarding the selection, use and maintenance of respiratory protective equipment (RPE). The overall intent of the procedure is to protect persons against atmospheres deficient in oxygen or against dusts, mists, fumes, smokes, gases, vapors, micro-organisms or combinations of these substances which could enter the body through the respiratory system.
Selection of Respiratory Protection Equipment
It is imperative that when personnel are required to work in atmospheres contaminated by dusts, mists, fumes, smoke, gases, vapors, micro-organisms or atmospheres deficient in oxygen, they must first select the correct respiratory protective equipment.
When selecting respiratory protective equipment, the applicable standards must be reviewed and followed. If there is ever any doubt regarding the correct selection of respiratory protective equipment after consulting the standards, then additional specialist advice should be sourced to ensure that safety requirements and individual health is not compromised.
