MANUFACTURER’S RESPIRATORY PROTECTION RECOMMENDATIONS
WHEN HANDLING RCF PRODUCTS
Respirable Airborne Fiber Concentration Respirator Recommendation 1
Not yet determined but expected to be below 5.0 f/cc based on
operation Half-face, air-purifying respirator equipped with a NIOSH-
certified P100 particulate filter cartridge.
"Reliably" less than 0.5 f/cc See recommendation below for individual worker requests.
0.5 f/cc – 5.0 f/cc Half-face, air-purifying respirator equipped with a NIOSH –
certified P100 particulate filter cartridge.
5.0 f/cc – 25 f/cc Full-facepiece, air-purifying respirator equipped with a NIOSH –
certified P100 particulate filter cartridge or PAPR.
Greater than 25 f/cc PAPR with tight-fitting full facepiece or a supplied air respirator
in continuous flow mode.
When individual workers request respiratory protection as a
matter of personal comfort or choice and exposures are
"reliably" below 0.5 f/cc (8-hr.,TWA) A NIOSH-certified respirator, such as a disposable particulate
respirator or respirators with filter cartridges rated N95 or better.
1
Note: The P100 recommendation is a conservative default choice; in some cases, solid arguments can be made
that other respirator types (e.g., N95, R99, etc.) may be suitable for some tasks or work environments. The P100
recommendation is not designed to limit informed choices, provided that respiratory protection decisions
comply with 29 CFR 1910.134.
Other Information:
♦
Concentrations based upon an eight-hour time weighted average (TWA) as determined by air samples collected
and analyzed pursuant to NIOSH method 7400 (B) for airborne fibers.
♦
The manufacturer recommends the use of a full-facepiece, air purifying respirator equipped with an appropriate
particulate filter cartridge during furnace tear-out events and the removal of used RCF to control exposures to
airborne fiber and the potential presence of crystalline silica. If exposure levels are known, the respiratory
protection chart provided above may be applied.
♦
Potential exposure to other airborne contaminants should be evaluated by a qualified Industrial Hygienist for the
selection of appropriate respiratory protection and air monitoring.
♦
In the absence of other objective data or when concentrations are unknown, the manufacturer recommends the
use of a half-face, air-purifying respirator equipped with a NIOSH-certified P-100 particulate filter cartridge (See
above note).
Skin Protection:
Wear gloves (e.g. cotton), head coverings and full body clothing as necessary to prevent skin irritation. Washable or
disposable clothing may be used. If possible, do not take unwashed work clothing home. If soiled work clothing must
be taken home, employers should ensure employees are trained on the best practices to minimize or avoid non-work
dust exposure (e.g., vacuum clothes before leaving the work area, wash work clothing separately, rinse washer before
washing other household clothes, etc.).
Eye Protection:
Wear safety glasses with side shields or other forms of eye protection in compliance with appropriate OSHA standards
to prevent eye irritation. The use of contact lenses is not recommended, unless used in conjunction with appropriate
eye protection. Do not touch eyes with soiled body parts or materials. If possible, have eye-washing facilities readily
available where eye irritation can occur.
