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 />920-124.IA/SSP.DOC 11 December 8, 1997 <br />
