For example, in cases of firefighting, the OSHA Advisor Genius reminds the visitor that:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>The employer is required to develop and implement a written respiratory protection program with required worksite-specific procedures and elements in accordance with OSHA Standard 1910.134(c)\u2026.A self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is required. The respirator must be operated in a pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. The respirator must be equipped with a full face piece. For atmosphere-supplying respirators (supplied air and SCBA), employers are required to provide breathing gases of high purity, and shall ensure that compressed air, compressed oxygen, liquid air, and liquid oxygen used for respiration is in accordance with the specifications of OSHA Standard 1910.134(i).<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Overall, the OSHA system makes the selection of tools and standards seem simple; but, as everyone working in the applicable fields knows, it is not. There are so many situations in which a potential or specific hazard (particulate or gas, oxygen levels that are lower than normal atmospheric conditions, etc.) changes the respiratory device or system requirement. Strong planning, oversight, testing, and re-evaluation are required.<\/p>\n<p>The OSHA Respiratory Protection eTools page is a good step on the road to achieving better understanding and compliance, and that means greater safety for all.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><em>Don\u2019t forget to test your compressed air!<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Occupational Safety &amp; Health Administration (OSHA) has unveiled some online tools to help employers and workers understand how to properly select their respiratory selection gear.
