Important

Before using these filters, you

must determine the following:

1. The type of contaminant(s)

for which the respirator is

being selected.

2. The concentration level

of contaminant(s).

3. Whether the respirator can be

properly fitted on the wearer’s

face. Do not use with beards,

other facial hair, or other

conditions that prevent a good

seal between the face and the

faceseal of the respirator.

4. Before use of these respirators,

a written respiratory protection

program must be implemented,

meeting all the requirements

of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134,

including training, medical

evaluation and fit testing.
