shape of the nose bridge by pushing inwards while moving your fingertips down both sides of the
nosepiece. (Fig. 4)
Pinching the respirator nosepiece using only one hand may result in less effective respirator fit.
5. The seal of the respirator on the face should be checked by the wearer prior to entering the work
area.
a) Cover the front of the respirator with both hands, being careful not to disturb the position of the
respirator.
b) Exhale sharply. If air leaks around the nose bridge, readjust the nosepiece as described in step 4. If
air leaks at the respirator edges, work the straps back along the side of your hand. (Fig. 5) If you
CANNOT achieve a proper seal, DO NOT enter the contaminated area. See your supervisor.
