-RESMA <br /> September 23, 1993 Working To Restore Nature <br /> BP Facility No. 11191, Stockton, California <br /> RESPIRATORY PROTECTION PROGRAM <br /> This section summarizes RESNA Industries Respiratory Protection Program. RESNA <br /> Industries subcontractors must have company medical surveillance and respiratory protection <br /> programs including adequate training of their employees. Subcontractors must provide <br /> personal protective equipment as required in this Site Safety Plan for their employees. <br /> RESNA Industries will attempt to verify worker training but does not assume the <br /> responsibility of the employer in any way. The following sections outline the RESNA <br /> Industries Respiratory Protection Program. <br /> Respirators are not issued to employees until the Company physician conducts a complete <br /> physical and decides the employee can 1) wear personal protective equipment and 2) wear <br /> a respirator. After the physician has issued written approval to RESNA Industries, the <br /> Health and Safety Coordinator conducts the required training including these basic topics: <br /> o Applicable OSHA regulations 1910.134 and 1910.120 <br /> o Nature of respiratory hazards to be encountered in the work environment and <br /> how to select proper respiratory equipment <br /> o Use of respirators and proper fitting <br /> o Functions and limitations of respirators <br /> o Cleaning, disinfection, inspection, maintenance, and storage of respirators <br /> Functions and Limitations of Respirators <br /> Respirators are not intended for and may not be used in atmospheres which are, or may <br /> become, immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) or in atmospheres where the <br /> identity or concentration of the contaminant(s) is unknown. Respirators may not be used <br /> in atmospheres containing less than 19.5 percent oxygen. <br /> Cartridges or canisters 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.
