Identification
• Job Hazard Analysis• Check MSDS for listed chemicals• Particulate • Sources without an MSDS
– Existing Building Materials
• Oxygen Deficiency• Biologicals (viruses, mold)
![Page 9: Respiratory Hazard Assessment and Protection Suzanne Reister/Paula Vanderpool North Central ESD 171 509-667-7100/7110](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051614/5519ed665503464c588b457a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Exposure Assessment Through Estimation
• Reasonably Estimate– Manufacturer’s Information– Observations– Measurements/Calculations– Other Industry Information– Duration of Use
– Ventilation
![Page 10: Respiratory Hazard Assessment and Protection Suzanne Reister/Paula Vanderpool North Central ESD 171 509-667-7100/7110](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051614/5519ed665503464c588b457a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Exposure Assessment Through Testing
• Use NIOSH approved sampling methods– http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/nmam/
• Ensure appropriate sampling method/media
• Overloading & breakthrough• Sampling limitations
![Page 11: Respiratory Hazard Assessment and Protection Suzanne Reister/Paula Vanderpool North Central ESD 171 509-667-7100/7110](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051614/5519ed665503464c588b457a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Air Monitoring Continued
• Consider contracting professional industrial hygienist
• Phone book under “Safety Consultants”

Document, Document, Document• Describe the job• List the airborne hazard• Describe the steps of the exposure
assessment • Explain the determination• Include all information used to
make a determination

Control Exposure• WAC 296-841 requires the use of
engineering or administrative controls before using respirators.
• “Feasible Controls” to “below PEL or Lowest Achievable”
• Using Respirators is Costly and Time Consuming!
![Page 14: Respiratory Hazard Assessment and Protection Suzanne Reister/Paula Vanderpool North Central ESD 171 509-667-7100/7110](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051614/5519ed665503464c588b457a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Administrative Controls
• Chemical Substitution • Change the Process• Separate Employees• Work Practices• Job Rotation
![Page 15: Respiratory Hazard Assessment and Protection Suzanne Reister/Paula Vanderpool North Central ESD 171 509-667-7100/7110](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051614/5519ed665503464c588b457a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Engineering Controls
• Removing Emissions from the Source– Hoods– Shrouds– Enclosure with negative air/filtration
• Diluting Emissions– Ventilation
• Natural • Forced

Update Job Hazard Analysis
• Appendix D JHA PPE Section • Determination Documentation
– May require supplemental letter outlining exposure assessment process used
• Inform employees
![Page 18: Respiratory Hazard Assessment and Protection Suzanne Reister/Paula Vanderpool North Central ESD 171 509-667-7100/7110](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051614/5519ed665503464c588b457a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
WAC 296-842 Respirators
You have an exposure you cannot control
so you need to provide respirators.
![Page 19: Respiratory Hazard Assessment and Protection Suzanne Reister/Paula Vanderpool North Central ESD 171 509-667-7100/7110](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051614/5519ed665503464c588b457a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Steps in Implementation
• Designate a Program Administrator• Written Plan• Select Respirators (Steps in WAC
296-842-130)• Medical Evaluations/Fit Testing• Training • Maintenance

Respirator Types
• Dust Mask• Full Face Cartridge• Powered Air Cartridge • Supplied Air • Self Contained Breathing
Apparatus• Escape SCBA

Using Filtering FacepiecesLimits of dust masks
Dust masks will leak if they don’t fit your face properly.
Dust masks don’t filter out chemical vapors.
Dust masks are not adequate for heavy amounts of dust.
Dust masks may not be suitable for highly toxic dusts.
![Page 23: Respiratory Hazard Assessment and Protection Suzanne Reister/Paula Vanderpool North Central ESD 171 509-667-7100/7110](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051614/5519ed665503464c588b457a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Dust Mask Protection Factor How much protection does a dust
mask give?Dust masks only provide protection to levels 10 times above the chemical or dust permissible exposure limit (PEL).
Example
Wood dust permissible limit – 5 mg/cu. meter
Dust mask protects up to 50 mg/cu. meter
mg/cu. meter = milligrams per cubic meter
![Page 24: Respiratory Hazard Assessment and Protection Suzanne Reister/Paula Vanderpool North Central ESD 171 509-667-7100/7110](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051614/5519ed665503464c588b457a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
NIOSH–Approved Dust Masks
• Dust masks come in variety of styles and brands.
• Not all dust masks provide adequate protection for workplace dust.
• Only NIOSH-approved dust masks can be used for protection against dust levels that exceed the PEL.
Not NIOSH-approved NIOSH-approved

Air movement is controlled by rubber inhalation and exhalation valves.
The adjustable straps are used to keep the respirator snug on the face.

Respirator CartridgesTypes of Cartridges
Dust cartridges filter out dust only.
Chemical cartridges trap different types of chemicals, but not dust.
Cartridges are color-coded for the type of chemical or dust.
