Title: Respirators for IDLH Atmospheres (cont'd)
Type: Text Slide
Content:
Respirators provided only for escape from IDLH atmospheres shall be NIOSH-certified for escape from
the atmosphere in which they will be used.
Exception: Employers may use any atmosphere-supplying respirator, provided they can demonstrate,
under all foreseeable conditions, that oxygen levels in the work area can be maintained within the
ranges specified in Table II (i.e., between 19.5% and a lower value that corresponds to an
altitude-adjusted oxygen partial pressure equivalent to 16% oxygen at sea level).
