OR: <br /> r <br /> i <br /> 1 <br /> - • 1 <br /> May 1, 1491 <br /> Site Safety Plan AGS 30003-1S <br /> ARCO Station No, 2130, Stockton. California <br /> Cartridges cran:-"ters for respirators are selected and supplied to employees by the Health <br /> and Safety Coordinator or Branch Safety officer. The failure to choose or use a respirator <br /> equipped with cartridges or filters suitable for the contaminant(s) in the atmosphere or <br /> likely to be released in the atmosphere may result in the respirator providing little or no <br /> protection against the contaminated atmosphere. The Site Safety Plan specifies the <br /> contatninant(s)to be encountered and type of cartridg s or canister appropriate for personal <br /> protection. <br /> Assuming that the respirator is properly fitted, in good condition, free from leaks, and has <br /> the proper cartridges for the contaminant(s) present, the length of time the respirator will <br /> provide protection also depends on the conditions of use. <br /> The conditions of use include but are not limited to the following: <br /> o The concentration of contaminant(s) in the atmosphere <br /> o The temperature and humidity of the ambient atmosphere <br /> o Any previous use of the cartridges and filters <br /> o The elapsed time since the removal of the cartridges or filters from their <br /> protective packaging <br /> o The emotional state of the wearer <br /> o The level of physical activity of the wearer <br /> Cartridges designed and specified to protect the wearer against airborne particles are not <br /> appropriate for protection against gases and vapors. Cartridges designed a.nd specified for <br /> c gases and vapors are not appropriate for protection against <br /> protection against specifi <br /> airborne particles or other gases or vapors beyond the scope of that type of cartridge. Every <br /> cartridge is labeled with specific instructions defining the use and limitations of that <br /> particular type of cartridge. If the label is missing or the type of cartridge is inappropriate <br /> then it may not be used under any circumstances: it will provide little or no protection to <br /> the wearer. <br /> 9 <br /> .4PP&Od Geosystenys <br />
