This guide may be used as an aid to select appropriate respiratory protection for specific contaminants. Because conditions at the worksite can vary substantially, a comprehensive evaluation must be made to determine the correct respiratory protection. When contaminants at a worksite have been identified and concentrations measured, this guide may be used to help select the appropriate respirator. Only qualified professionals, familiar with the actual working conditions and knowledgeable in the benefits and the limitations of respiratory protection equipment, should make the selection. Once a respirator has been selected, it is important to continually monitor its effectiveness, as well as the dynamic worksite situation. If selection criteria changes, including but not limited to worksite conditions or standards and regulations, a new evaluation must be made to determine the appropriate respiratory protection.
