5.12
When finished blasting, and after cleanup is
completed, remove the respirator outside the respirator-
use area and where the air is safe to breathe.
WARNING
Do not don the respirator, or store it in a blast
contaminated environment. Do not remove the
respirator in a contaminated environment
except for emergency evacuation when the use
of the respirator hinders escape.
NOTE: The quick disconnect coupling on the end of the
respirator hose is not equipped with a shut-off.
Therefore, if the hose is disconnected from the respirator
while the pump is in operation, air will continue to flow
freely from the hose. After removing the respirator in a
clean environment, the air pump should be shut off.
