suitability and in so doing the following factors
should be considered bearing in mind that the
circumstances of use determine the level of
protection provided.
1)

would not be possible to escape without risk to
life or health. Such atmospheres include those
deficient in oxygen.
2)
The respirator must not be used in
atmosphere where the concentration of
contaminant may exceed the allowable
exposure limit and it should be noted that at
exceptionally high levels of physical work the
peak inhalation may exceed the constant flow
of supplied air. (See Specification)
3)
The wearer must be able to adjust and fit
the respirator correctly. The wearer must be
trained in the correct wearing and operation of
the respirator and understand the limitations of
use.
4)
The employer should ensure that the
respirator, which is intended for light duty
service, is suitable and that the appropriate
model is selected and that the trailing supply
hose will not present a hazard to the wearer or
others in the vicinity. Refer to - HSG 53. The
selection use and maintenance of respiratory
protective equipment (HSE Guide).
