1 Respirator Selection Criteria The 3M™ Respirator Selection Guide includes a list of chemicals for which 3M respirators can be recommended. This information can be used to supplement general industrial hygiene knowledge. Once workplace contaminants and their concentrations have been identified, the guide can be used to help select an appropriate 3M™ Respirator for nearly 700 chemicals with Threshold Limit Values (TLVs®) or other recommended exposure limits.
Assigned protection factors* per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 are as follows: Air Purifying Respirators • Half facepiece (filtering facepiecedisposable and reusable)..................... 10 • Full facepiece..................................... 50 Powered Air Purifying Respirators • Loose-fitting facepiece (e.g., L-501, Airstream™)........................................ 25 • Half facepiece.................................... 50 • Full facepiece, helmet, or hood......
3 in the area. If ladders or scaffolds must be climbed, a supplied air respirator or a combination air purifying/supplied air respirator may not be appropriate. Respirator Characteristics, Capabilities, and Limitations A respirator may not be able to help protect against all of the contaminants present in a particular work environment. Specific limitations are stated on the approval labels and are included with user instructions and limitations.
to life or health, when concentrations are unknown, or in atmospheres containing less than 19.5% oxygen. • Do not abuse or misuse any respirator. • Do not use tight-fitting respirators or loose-fitting facepieces with beards or other facial hair or conditions that prevent direct contact between the face and the edge of the respirator. • Do not use when concentrations exceed maximum use concentrations established by regulatory agencies.
5 Documentation for Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health Concentrations (IDLHs), NTIS Publication No. PB-94-195047, May 1994. The 1994 IDLH values established by NIOSH used interim criteria, and OSHA stated in a May 21, 1996 memorandum that OSHA will use the older IDLH values while NIOSH conducts further study regarding the 1994 values. The 1990 IDLH values are used in this guide since OSHA uses these values for enforcement.
• For a more detailed explanation of TLVs and their proper application, refer to the TLV booklet available for a nominal fee from ACGIH, 1330 Kemper Meadow Drive, Cincinnati, OH 45240. Odor Threshold* Odor thresholds cannot be used as the primary indicator for changing gas and vapor cartridges as a result of OSHA standard, 29 CFR 1910.134. The respirator program administrator, using objective data and information, must establish chemical *Odor Threshold References 1. Jensen, B., and P. Wolkoff.
7 recognize the odor, while another person may barely notice it. The odor thresholds reported in the literature are typically determined for a single constituent, with no other chemicals present in the air. The single constituent situation rarely occurs in the workplace. Therefore, caution must be exercised in using these numbers. They may not be representative of odor detection capabilities of individual workers in your facilities.
Comments Other information may be listed in this column: A. Short service life means predicted cartridge life of less than 30 minutes at concentrations of ten times (10X) the OEL, or the contaminant’s boiling point is less than 65C. Actual service life will vary considerably, depending on concentration levels, temperature, humidity, work rate, etc. See the following literature references for specific details on the conditions and limitations of these estimates: 1. 3M Company. 3M Service Life Software.
9 selection.* If a chemical cartridge is used, a change schedule must be established to replace the cartridges before the end of their service life. E. These compounds have been identified as possibly existing in both vapor and particulate phase in the workplace.
Respirator Filter Definitions 3M 42 CFR 84 Filters N-Series Filters: These filters are restricted to use in those atmospheres free of oil aerosols. They may be used for any solid or liquid airborne particulate hazard that does not contain oil. Generally these filters should be used and reused subject only to considerations of hygiene, damage, and increased breathing resistance. N95 Particulate Filter -At least 95% filter efficient when tested with ~0.3 µm NaCl aerosol.
11 How to Use this Guide If a respirator is being selected for a single compound listed in this guide with an air concentration not exceeding 10 times the value in the OEL column, then the respirator identified in the Respirator column may be selected.
6. Record the IDLH value and the value from the OEL column on the form provided or on one you created. Determine the hazard ratio (see page 1) and record. Using this information, determine which condition describes your situation: a) Does the airborne concentration exceed the IDLH value? If yes, go to Step 16. b) Does the hazard ratio exceed (>) 1000? If yes, go to Step 16. c) Does the hazard ratio exceed (>) 50? If yes, go to Step 7. d) Does the hazard ratio exceed (>) 10? If yes, go to Step 8.
13 information for the next chemical. When two or more contaminants that act upon the same organ system are present, consideration should be given to the combined effect rather than individual effects. Consult the current TLVs® and documentation published by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists for more information and the appropriate formula. If combined effects are considered, calculate the hazard ratio for the mixture. b) If no, go to Step 11. 11.
pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or combination respirator consisting of a positive pressure supplied air respirator with an auxiliary SCBA. The rated duration of the auxiliary SCBA should be sufficient to allow adequate time for escape. Record the respirator selected in the final row of the form. This is the minimum acceptable level of respiratory protection; the selection process is finished. If you need help, go to Step 17. 17.
