limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier,
whichever is lowest. A full face piece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N100 filter) may be worn up to 50 times the
exposure limit, or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency, or respirator
supplier, whichever is lowest. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, Glycerin, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH
type R or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full face piece
positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in Oxygen-
deficient atmospheres.
