Title: ●Amendments To Establish Wildland Firefighting Protection Performance Requirements for Approval of Respiratory Protective Devices | |
Abstract: NIOSH certifies respirators used in a variety of industrial settings; regulations governing certification are codified in 42 CFR part 84. Currently, although wildland firefighters are exposed to dangerous smoke and fire gases of varying concentrations in an outdoor environment, NIOSH regulations do not provide for the certification of respirators for these workers. The National Fire Protection Association Technical Committee on Respiratory Protection Equipment has requested that NIOSH develop a new standard for wildland firefighter respiratory protection. NIOSH is currently drafting a Proposed Rule to codify this new standard for respirators for wildland firefighters under 42 CFR part 84. | |
