Use and Selection Guide for Non-Powered Air Purifying Particulate Respirators

The Use and Selection Guide for Non-Powered Air Purifying Particulate Respirators is a valuable aid to safety professionals and respirator users faced with complying with the new respiratory protection requirements of 42 CFR Part 84. Making the transition to these new respirators can be confusing to safety professionals and industrial hygienists responsible for respiratory protection programs. This 20-page ISEA Use and Selection Guide makes it easier, and features useful tables comparing existing 30 CFR 11 respirators to the new 42 CFR 84 respirators by particulate type, and by OSHA substance-specific standard.

The Use and Selection Guide was developed as a collaborative effort of the 16 members of the ISEA Respiratory Protection Group, who together account for 88 percent of all NIOSH-certified respirators.
