Respiratory Protection Policy

** RESPIRATORY PROTECTION PROGRAM **

            According to OSHA regulation, each employer is required to monitor the concentrations of each contaminant in the work‑place against the maximum permissible concentration allowed. Items which need monitoring include:  harmful dusts, fogs, fumes, mists, gases, smokes, sprays or vapors causing occupational diseases.  When engineering controls such as confinement of the operation, general and local ventilation or substitution of less toxic materials are not available or practical, appropriate respirators must be used. Employees will be required to notify the Company Safety Director or his designated official when they suspect that respirators are needed, at which time a determination will be made.
