Description: Quick 5-Min Video on Respiratory Protection.
Excerpt: The health of every worker is an important part of your
overall safety program. Of particular importance is the health and safety of
those persons assigned to jobs with potential health hazards such as working
with chemicals, exposure to gas, fumes, dusts, and mists. Spray painting
operations may have health hazards if proper precautions are not taken.
Naturally the most effective method of protecting workers is to reduce the
hazard by using ventilation, non-toxic chemicals, and other engineering
methods. Quite often these hazards may not be controlled by engineering methods
so personal protection may then be required. That’s what we want to discuss
today, specifically discussing the basics of respiratory protection. We can’t
list all the hazards or even all the solutions to the problem, but we can point
out some basic safety rules that apply generally to anyone using personal
protective equipment, specifically respirators.An effective respiratory protection program begins with your
company. The company is responsible for providing the proper equipment for the
intended purpose. The company is also responsible for establishing and
maintaining a respiratory protection program which includes the following.
1) A
written standard operating procedure governing the selection and use of
respirators
2) Respirators
should be selected on the basis of hazards to which the worker is exposed. This
seems common sense, but it is a very complex and technical area that requires
what the hazards are such as specific chemicals, fumes, gases, and so on. If
you know the hazard you can select the proper protection for that hazard
3) The
user shall be instructed and trained in the proper use of respirators.
