Training GoalsTraining Goals
• You should understand the extent of the requirements of a respiratory protection program.
• You should understand the limitations of the program and your respirator.

Permissible PracticesPermissible Practices
• Engineering and administrative controls before respirators.
• Engineering: substitution, minimization, isolation, ventilation controls.
• Administrative: scheduling or rotation of work.
• Maintenance and Research are areas where respirator use is still fairly common.

ExposureExposure
• Exposure is the concentration of air contaminant

According to MSDS for Hydrochloric Acid, recommended Personal Protective Equipment should include:
– Chemical goggles or face shield.
– Chemical resistant gloves. – Clothing, to avoid skin
contact. – Respiratory protection
based on airborne levels of acid vapor.

• Use for sensitizers like allergens?
• Immunologic asthma develops after a variable period of time during which "sensitization" to an agent present in the workplace takes place
• If sensitization occurs, it may follow the first exposure, or may not occur until after exposure has continued for a long time.

Latex AllergyLatex Allergy
• Latex allergy can result from repeated exposures to proteins in natural rubber latex. Exposure can be due to skin contact with a latex-containing item or inhalation of the proteins. Reactions can range from skin rash to anaphylaxis and shock. Some items that include latex are gloves, medical supplies, respirators, rubber bands, balloons, and baby bottle nipples.
• Respirators are available in rubber and silicone. The silicone masks can be used by those with latex sensitivities
