This document summarizes respiratory protection standards and guidelines. It discusses definitions of respirator types, medical evaluation and fit testing requirements, selection criteria, maintenance and use procedures, and training. Key points include the need for a written respiratory protection program, proper respirator selection based on hazards, limitations on respirator usage, and voluntary use requirements. Training must be provided on respirator use and hazards. A variety of respirator types are described for different applications.
Just a ppt I made to focus on Respirators and Noise issues among others in IH, I am seeing many not do medical surveillance, fir testing and wearers cannot do a User Seal check.,

General Industry Introduction to OSHA SafetyJohn Newquist
I used this draft as a foundation for introducing OSHA to students to safety in an OSHA 10/30 hour class. I like to use the fact that many people had to died to make these rules.
This is the draft electrical presentation that I use in the OSHA 10 hour classes. I put it up here to give the reader an idea what I cover in the one hour.
I want to thank John Gryzwacz and Bob Lomastro for helping me with this presentation. They are the best electrical trainers in the country. Both teach the OSHA 3095 class at the OSHA ed centers.
Bob is at www.safetywizard.com
John is www.oshaprofessor.com
These presentation are always in continual improvement so I put a date on the draft. There are many earlier versions of this.

Here is small ppt on pesticide safety
I am seeing a weakness in training workers on handling pesticides.
I try to avoid food where the pesticide is sprayed directly on the part you are eating.
Thank Rachel Allshiny for the work on this.
Just a mini ppt on an issue that many do not understand. It is machine guarding or lockout.

2. Standard Overview
• Definitions
• Program
Requirements
• Selection
• Medical Evaluation
• Fit Testing
• Maintenance/Use
• Training
• Recordkeeping
3. Definitions Pretest
A. High efficiency particulate air
(HEPA) filter
B. Immediately dangerous to life
of health (IDLH)
C. Negative pressure respirator
D. Oxygen deficient atmosphere
E. Positive pressure respirator
F. Powered air-purifying
respirator
G. Self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA)
H. Supplied-air respirator (SAR)
I. Escape-only respirator

4. December 2014
• Evanston IL
• $132,000 to six contractors
• OSHA's inspection found that
onsite asbestos consultant
directed the HVAC contractor
to cut and remove 60 feet of
piping that contained asbestos
insulation without PPE.
Typical asbestos pipe.
6. Payment
• Employers pay for almost all
personal protective equipment
that is required by OSHA’s
general industry standards.
• Metatarsal foot protection;
• Rubber boots with steel toes;
• Non-prescription eye
protection;
• Hard hats/Bump Caps;
• Hearing Protection;
• Personal fall protection; and
• Reflective work vests.
• It does not require payment for
uniforms, items worn to keep
clean, or other items that are not
PPE.
• Sturdy work shoes;
• Non-specialty slip-resistant,
non-safety-toe footwear;
• Prescription Eye wear
7. Some Caveats
• PPE is used as a last resort
• The use of PPE signifies
that the hazard could not
be controlled by other
methods, such as:
– administrative controls (i.e.,
shift rotation)
– engineering or industrial
hygiene controls
8. Back to the caveats...
• The use of PPE signals that the
hazard still exists in the
workplace
• Unprotected individuals in the
same area will be exposed
• Failure of PPE means that the
worker will be exposed
• PPE can be combined with
other controls
9. Clean Air Paradox
• Quality of Air
• 78.1% Nitrogen
• 20.9% Oxygen
• 0.9% Argon
• 0.03% Carbon
Dioxide
10. Units Seem Small
1 % = 10,000 ppm
PEL = Permissible
Exposure Limits
(OSHA)
5 Mg/M3 is very small
2 f/cc = 2,000,000f/M3
11. Health Effects
• Irritation
• Asphyxiation
• Organ Specific Effects
• Mutagen
• Teratogen
• Acute/Chronic
• Reversible vs.
Nonreversible
15. Hierarchy of Controls
• Engineering
• Administrative
• Personal Protective
Equipment
• Training
16. Lead
• Requires compliance with 1910.1025
• Overexposure can occur in less than 5 minutes
when torch cutting or painting
17. Lead effects
• Chronic overexposure - severe damage to
the blood-forming, nervous, urinary, and
reproductive systems
• High levels will require medical removal
• Bridge Painting/Removal continues to be
ones of the consistent lead issues in
construction
18. Silica
• Cutting, hammering,
drilling, blasting can
create high silica
levels
• Use wet methods and
wear respirators
• One of the oldest
occupational diseases
19. Silica
• 150-200 deaths a year
(2009)
• 1150-1200 deaths a
year (1968)
• Yet….one company
had 3 silicosis and
10x+ severe
respiratory diseases
Gauley Bridge in 1920’s had
workers die in months.
20. Copper Fumes - Welding
• Copper is inhalation
hazard affecting
respiratory system
• Mild steel (red iron)
and carbon steel
contain manganese
• Manganese may
cause Parkinson's
disease
What do you see?
21. Total Dust
• All the things not
regulated.
• Good, bad, or
indifferent?
• Air blowing!
22. Iron Oxide -Welding
• Metal fume fever
• Direct Draw or forced
ventilation should be
used
• Personal Protective
Equipment should be
used
• Bystanders should be
protected as well
23. Carbon Monoxide
• Generators are most
common problem of
CO
• Heaters out of tune are
another cause
• CO TWA is 50 ppm
• Others set levels 25
ppm
24. Hex Chrome
• Stainless steel contains
nickel and chromium
• Plating, grinding,
welding are problems
• Some cements
25. Cadmium
• Overexposure to
cutting cadmium bolts,
coated poles
• Torch cutting should
never be used
• Use hydraulic bolt
cutters
• Comply with
1926.1127 Cadmium bolts are often
found in sprinkler pipe use.
27. Asbestos
• Common Fireproofing
material used pre-
1980s
• Found in pipe
insulation, ceiling
tiles, and floor tiles
• Must comply with
1926.1101 or
1910.1001
28. June 2014
• The asbestos lawsuit that
saw a $1 million award
• Richard Rost has
Mesothelioma
• Defendants included Ford
Motor Company (Ford),
General Electric,
Westinghouse and Ingersoll-
Rand.
• However, the latter three
defendants settled with the
plaintiffs out of court, before
the trial had an opportunity
to begin.
Overall, nearly 3,000 people
are diagnosed with mesothelioma each
year in the United States, which represents
0.02 percent of all U.S. cancer cases.

dangerous to life and health
(IDLH) unless it is equipped
with a self-contained air supply
for escape.
49. Air Created by an Oil Lubricated
Compressor?
• For oil-lubricated compressors,
the employer shall use a high-
temperature or carbon
monoxide alarm, or both, to
monitor carbon monoxide
levels.
• If only high-temperature alarms
are used, the air supply shall be
monitored at intervals sufficient
to prevent carbon monoxide in
the breathing air from
exceeding 10ppm
51. Hose Length

irritation in order to detect leakage
The fit test shall be administered
using an OSHA-accepted QLFT or
QNFT protocol.
Fit test not done before use. #6
