48 6.3.1 RESPIRATORY PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Upon request, ICS shall provide a copy of their respiratory protection program. Cal-OSHA T8 CCR §5144 requires employers to establish and implement a written respiratory protection program with worksite-specific procedures where respiratory protection is necessary to protect an employee's health or when the employer requires it. This HASP contains the critical worksite-specific procedures stipulating how respiratory protective equipment will be safely and effectively used on the job site. Under no circumstances will ICS provide respiratory protection to, for, or on behalf of our clients, regulators, or subcontractors. The following information and Tables 6-1 and 6-2 pertain to respiratory protection: • Unless an end-of-service-life indicator (ESLI) is available for contaminants (s) of concern, a change-out schedule has been provided for personnel utilizing air-purifying respirators for protection against particulates, gases, and vapors. • Air monitoring protocols have been identified (see Table 6-1) so that the concentration required to determine a change-out schedule can be verified. Instrumentation relative- response factors must also be incorporated into the air monitoring protocols. • All personnel who will use respiratory protective equipment must have completed a medical evaluation under the requirements of 8 CCR §5144(e) – see section 7.0 below. • All ICS personnel who will use respiratory protective equipment have completed a qualitative fit test within the last year. All others in the ICS exclusion zone must provide the necessary information before entering the exclusion zone. • Should supplied breathing equipment be used, a discussion of breathing air quality and use procedures should be provided as an addendum to this HASP plan. 6.4 OTHER PERSONNEL PROTECTIVE PROCEDURES • There will be no eating, drinking, or smoking within the exclusion zone.
