Important
All 3M Filtering Facepieces are NIOSH- approved respirators. Before using, you must determine the following:
- The types of contaminants for which the respirator is being selected, and exposure time.
- The concentration level of the contaminant(s). Do not use for particle concentrations that exceed 10 times the OSHA PEL or applicable occupational exposure limit, whichever is lower.
- Whether the respirator can be properly fitted to the wearer's face. Do not use with beards, or other conditions that prevent a good seal between the face and the sealing surface of the respirator.
- Before required use of filtering face-piece respirators, a written respiratory protection program must be implemented, meeting all the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 including medical evaluation, training, and fit testing.
* 3M recommended for relief against nuisance level acid gas or organic vapors. Nuisance levels are less than OSHA PEL or applicable government occupational exposure limits, whichever is lower.
