OSHA regulations on respirators

OSHA regulations on respirators

Regulatory bodies have a number of stringent regulations. OSHA for instance, explains the reason for which it has regulations about this device. It has regulations sinceIn the control of those occupational diseases caused by breathing air contaminated with harmful dusts, fogs, fumes, mists, gases, smokes, sprays, or vapors, the primary objective shall be to prevent atmospheric contamination.

It further states that this shall be accomplished as far as feasible by accepted engineering control measures (for example, enclosure or confinement of the operation, general and local ventilation, and substitution of less toxic materials). (1910.134(a) (1))

Thus, for workplaces that employ workers who do the kind of work that exposes them to the hazards of the nature mentioned above; regulations are very important guidelines towards ensuring employee safety. The workplace has to be free of hazards, but even when there are inevitable hazards; care should be taken to neutralize them.
