FSiteSafety Plan August 20, 1990 <br /> er Exxon Station No. 7-1050, Stockton, California AGS 30045-IS <br /> 2. Examine face piece plastic center shell for cracks, missing components, or <br /> damaged threads. <br /> 3. Examine harness for breaks, cuts, frays, tears, and missing or damaged <br /> hardware. <br /> 4. Examine inhalation and exhalation valves and valve seats for cuts, cracks, or <br /> foreign matter which may not allow the valve to close completely. Check that <br /> valves are properly installed and are not distorted. <br /> 5. Examine cartridges for signs of abuse or damage. Discard damaged items. <br /> 6. Any respirator malfunction or deficiencies noted must be reported to the <br /> Health and Safety Coordinator or Branch Safely Officer who will issue a new <br /> respirator or correct the deficiencies using only approved spare parts from the <br /> manufacturer of the specific model in need of repair. Spare parts from any <br /> other manufacturer may not be used under any conditions. Instructions in the <br /> manual provided by the manufacturer should be followed when the respirator <br /> needs repairing or replacing. <br /> B. Cleaning <br /> 1. Unthread cartridges or filters. <br /> 2. Wash the face piece after use, with warm water and a mild detergent. <br /> 3. Disinfect the face piece if it was used by another person. The mask should <br /> routinely (once per month) be disinfected even if respirator is used solely by <br /> one individual. A hypochlorite solution may be used (i.e., 2 tablespoons <br /> chlorine bleach per gallon of water for an acceptable solution). <br /> 4. After cleaning and air-drying, check that the face piece is not damaged and <br /> that components removed prior to cleaning have been installed properly. <br /> C. Storage <br /> 1. Place the respirator in its storage box in a heat- sealed or resealable plastic <br /> bag. Store flat, with the face piece and exhalation valve in an approximately <br /> normal position, to prevent the face seal from taking a permanent 'set." <br /> 2. Replacement components should be stored in sealed packages in a cool, <br /> clean, low-humidity location until ready for use. <br /> 11 <br /> — App/!td COOSyi:liems <br />
