Assigned Protection Factors (APF)
![Page 17: Respiratory Protection and the Worker Protection Standard Stan Thomas/ Oregon OSHA Health Enforcement Manager Agriculture Health Program Manager Agency](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062620/5519ee0f550346443e8b53c3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Maximum Use Concentration (MUC) Determined by multiplying the assigned
protection fact by the OSHA permissible exposure level
Example:◦ Exposure to unregulated dusts (PNOR)
OSHA PEL = 10 mg/m3 ½ face Air Purifying Respirator (APR) = Assigned
Protection Factor (APF) = 10 Maximum Use Concentration (MUC) of 100 mg/m3
