Title: Respiratory Protection (Proper Use of Modern Respirators) | |
Abstract: In January 1998, OSHA published the final respiratory protection standard, except for the reserved provision on assigned protection factors, which are numbers that estimate the degree of performance of the various classes of respirators. OSHA has developed a statistical model for analyzing available data to be used to derive APFs. Accordingly, OSHA will request further public comment on the analyses conducted using that model, the ANSI Z88.2-1992 APFs, the NIOSH Respirator Decision Logic APFs, and other relevant methodologies for deriving APFs to make certain that public input is received and fully considered before final APFs are incorporated. OSHA expects to complete the rulemaking on APFs in 1998. | |
