The employer providing the SCOTT PROFLOW 2 respirator for use by its personnel
must train the user in the importance of maintaining a good seal between the face-

Although contact lenses may be worn with the facepiece, the decision to use or not
use contact lenses should be determined by the program administrator as part of the
training program.
