VOLUME OF ELECTROX AND ESTIMATED TIME TO FOG

LEVEL OF PPE REQUIRED WHEN FOGGING
This is based on a work day of 8 hours. Users should not be continuously exposed for longer than 1
hour before leaving the fogging process and removing the mask to take a break. This allows the user
to work comfortably without the possibility of the mask being compromised during fogging.
FURTHER INFORMATION
The Health and Safety Executive states that employers are responsible for determining their own
working practices and in-house standards for control of exposure.
