rM <br />=M.MgMEM <br /> Site Safety Plan <br /> Fire Engine Company No. 2, Stockton., California January 1.7, 1990 <br /> AGS 35009.25 <br /> ------------- <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 Applied GeoSystems, the <br /> r' Health and Safety Coordinator conducts the required training including these basic topics: <br /> o Applicable OSHA regulations 1910.134 and 19.10.120 <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 /> w 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. The Site Safety Plan specifies the <br /> contaminant(s)to be encountered and type of cartridge or canister appropriate for personal <br /> protection. <br /> jm 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 /> S <br /> v <br /> Aj0P11ed C9e0S.VW0177S <br />
