Respiratory Protection Program Guidelines <br /> Respirators will be provided by PACIFIC when such equipment is deemed necessary to <br /> protect the health of PACIFIC employee. PACIFIC shall provide respirators which are <br /> applicable and suitable for the purpose intended. The employer shall be responsible for the <br /> establishment and maintenance of this respiratory protection program. The Company Safety <br /> Officer will approve the selection, purchase, and inspection of the models and types of <br /> respiratory protective devices. <br /> A medical evaluation is required prior to wearing any respirator, except where emergency <br /> escape respirators are provided. The contract physician shall determine annually if any <br /> health or physical conditions exist which would prohibit a worker from being assigned to an <br /> area requiring respiratory protection. A record will be retained in the employee's medical <br /> file, which will be retained at the medical clinic or doctor's office. <br /> Respirators shall not be worn when conditions prevent a facepiece-to-face seal. Such <br /> conditions as facial hair, scars, wrinkles, facial diseases, dentures removal, or other disorders <br /> could prevent a proper facepiece-to-face seal. In these cases, corrective action will be taken <br /> to ensure a proper seal. Contact lenses shall not be worn when using any respirator. <br /> For the safe use of any respirator, it is essential that the user be properly instructed in its <br /> operation and maintenance. Both supervisors and employees shall be so instructed. <br /> Employees shall be instructed and trained in the proper selection and use of respirators and <br /> their limitations. The employee shall use the provided respirator in accordance with <br /> instructions and training received. All training shall be documented with records retained in <br /> the employee's training files. <br /> 920-078.IA/SSP.DOC 1 I September 24, 1996 <br />
