
The temperature is outside the range of -4°F to 122°F (-20°C to +50°C). If the internal
battery temperature reaches 140°F (60°C) the unit will completely shut down.

Flammable or explosive atmosphere is present. This system contains electrical parts that
are not suitable for use in such environments. The PX5
®
is not intrinsically safe.
AIR SOURCE
Powered Air
Check that the contaminated area is within the limits of use for a Powered Air Purifying Respirator
and determine the type of contamination. Once the contamination level has been confirmed
you can then determine the filter cartridge to be used for the application, to make sure that you
are sufficiently protected. Make sure that the area is well ventilated and that regular air samples
are taken to confirm the atmosphere stays within the levels recommended by OSHA and other
governing bodies.
EMPLOYER RESPONSIBILITIES
Your specific responsibilities may vary by location and industry, but in general RPB ® expects that
employers will:

Follow all applicable standards and regulations for your location, industry, and activity.
Depending on your location and industry, a number of standards and regulations may apply
to your selection and use of respirators and other personal protective equipment. These may
include such things as federal (e.g., OSHA, MSHA, Canadian Occupational Health and Safety),
local (e.g., state, provincial), or military standards and regulations and consensus standards
such as ANSI and CSA. There are also requirements specific to particular contaminants, e.g.
silica (see rpbsafety.com for more information), asbestos, organic pathogens, etc. Know which
requirements apply to your location and industry.
 Have appropriate safety programs in place.
Have and follow:

A workplace safety program.

A written respiratory protection program in accordance with applicable standards and
regulations (e.g., OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134; ANSI/ASSE Z88.2; CSA Z94.4, etc.).

In accordance with the above
,

Perform a hazard analysis and select appropriate equipment for each activity. A
hazard analysis should be performed by a qualified person. Controls should be in
place as appropriate and a qualified person should determine what kind of respiratory,
face and eye, head, and hearing protection is appropriate for the intended activities
and environments of use. (For example, select a respirator appropriate to the specific
airborne hazards, with consideration of workplace and user factors and with an Assigned
Protection Factor (APF) that meets or exceeds the required level for employee protection,
