Important:
All 3M Disposable Respirators Filtering Facepieces are NIOSH approved respirators Before Using, you must determine the following:
1. The types of contaminants for which the respirators is being selected.
2. The concentration level of the Contaminants(s). Do not use for aerosol concentrations that exceed 10 times the OSHA PEL or applicable occupational exposure limit, whichever is lower.
3. 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.
4. Before required use of 3M disposable filtering facepiece respirators a written protection program must be implemented, meeting all the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 including medical evaluation, training and fit testing.
