An estimated 20 million workers use PPE on a regular basis to protect themselves from job hazards.
NIOSH PPT Program Vision and Mission
The VISION is to be the leading provider of quality, relevant, and timely PPT research, training, and evaluation.
The MISSION of the PPT program is to prevent work-related injury, illness and death by advancing the state of knowledge and application of personal protective technologies (PPT).

Conformity Assessment Strategy focused around five central questions
What is the basis for establishing a national framework to address the conformity assessment of non-respiratory PPE? What approach will best balance the private and public sector interests in protecting the health and safety of the American worker?
What implementation mechanisms and authorities must be used, enhanced, or developed to ensure effective national conformity assessment implementation, coordination, and compliance?
What level of conformity assessment is necessary under various circumstances?
Using a cost/benefit approach, what will the marketplace, particularly PPE purchasers and end users, be realistically willing and able to support?
What complementary activities could be undertaken to support the intended objectives (e.g. claims management, product labeling, global interoperability, field failure reporting, web-based communications, etc)?

Conformity Assessment questions the PPT Program would like the IOM COPPE to
consider
Do the five central questions described in the PPT CA Strategy document provide sufficient context to develop a PPT CA Framework?
Are there additional tasks that should be incorporated in the strategy document?
What additional content should be incorporated in the strategy document?

NIOSH Plans to Adopt ISO Requirements
• Create a plan to adopt applicable portions of the ISO standards through rulemaking
• Include applicable performance requirements from finalized ISO standards in the technical module updates included on the regulatory agenda
• Build the infrastructure necessary to carry out testing
• Obtain ISO 17025 and ISO Guide 65 laboratory certification
• Explore feasibility and benefit of entering into a MOU with a European Notified Body

Discussion on challenges and next steps
What are some of the barriers to be overcome in the development of the respiratory protection standard?
How does ANSI envision the selection and use standard to be adopted by the U.S?
How should users be educated on each of the product standards prior to the respiratory protection standard being completed and upon its completion?
How is the transition to the new standard envisioned with the introduction and availability of product meeting the new standards on the market?
In this age of streamlined regulations, what is the necessity and benefit of the approach introduced by the ISO standards?
How are the ISO standards expected to improve worker protection?
How can we train people to understand the complex requirements introduced in the ISO standards?

I have a case in about 30 minutes and have staff requesting information regarding laser masks and the TB N95 mask.
Could you tell me what is recommended with laser evaporation of condyloma (HPV)?
The TB (N95) masks are specially fit and tested for air leaks.
The laser masks have higher filtration and are a routine fit.

OR Smoke Plume- - Setting the Stage - -
● Over 500,000 workers are exposed to surgical smoke every year.
● Over 3 decades of studies document that surgical plume contains hazardous substances.
● Smoke plume exposures have been linked to adverse health symptoms and effects.

Smoke Plume Evidence
• Surgical smoke is made up of 95% water however the remaining 5% contains potentially hazardous inspirable particles.(Wentzell)
• Blood fragments
• Bacteria
• Lung damaging dust
• Intact and viable Human papilloma virus (HPV) and Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have been shown to be present in smoke plume. (Sawchuk, Alp)

Smoke Plume Evidence
• Without controls, OR baseline concentrations increased from 60,000 to over 1 million particles/ft3 within 5 min of electrocautery during breast reduction. It took 20 min for concentrations to return to baseline. (Brandon & Young)
• Burning 1 gram of tissue releases the same mutagenic contaminants as 3-6 cigarettes.(Tomita, Shaf)
• Small particles less than 1.1 micron constitute 77% of electrocautery particulate matter with a mean size of 0.07 microns. (Kunachak, Bruske-Hohlfeld)

Are Recommended Practices Being Followed?
In a Sept – Nov 2010 on-line follow-up to a 2007 survey of 1356 AORN members, major findings were:
1. There was a statistically significant increase in the use of wall suction for all surgical procedures.
2. The use of smoke evacuators has not changed significantly since the 2007 survey.
Edwards & Reiman – 2007, 2010

Secondary Control Measures
The AORN survey also showed that:
1.The use of high filtration (laser) masks has increased for nearly all procedures.
2.The use of NIOSH - approved respirators has not changed significantly since the 2007 survey.
Surgical masks Laser (high filtration) masks NIOSH-approved N95 respirators

Most importantly…..
The filtration performance of surgical masks for capturing particles varies widely.
None of 9 surgical masks tested with particles the size of viruses and bacteria provided the minimum level of protection recommended by OSHA.(Lee)
Filtration performance of surgical masks varies widely. (Oberg, Rengasamy)
Surgical and laser masks do not seal to the face and allow airborne contaminants to enter the wearer’s breathing zone.
Surgical masks act as a barrier to direct sprays but they do not reduce exposure from surgical smoke plume as well as respirators.
Evidence: Oberg and Brosseau 2008; Rengasamy, Miller, Eimer and Shaffer 2009

NIOSH Research Efforts
DSHEFS - National Exposures at Work Survey (NEWS) Survey conducted in March 2011 – Data analysis in progress
NPPTL - Filtration Efficiency of Surgical Laser Mask Study- Completed in 2011 - Showed that marketing of laser masks provides a false sense of security
HELD and NPPTL - Residual Air Quality Study- Study to look at residual air quality in an OR in a high plume case. Intent is to submit intramural NORA proposal for 2013 funding

39
Questions the PPT Program would like the IOM COPPE to consider
1. How could we best achieve educational outreach to wearers?
2. How could we best achieve collaborative endeavors with laser mask manufacturers to relay accurate marketing information?
3. How can we best partner with healthcare regulatory and accrediting agencies to update surveyors’ knowledge of the issue and recommended practices?
4. For ambulatory surgical settings, outside of the hospital setting, how could we best achieve educational outreach of recommended practices for smoke plume, laser surgery & electrosurgery?

Research Background
In March 2004, a study was initiated by NIOSH to assess the feasibility of collecting medical and environmental exposure data preseason, in a wildfire setting, and post-season
NIOSH health studies indicate that wildland firefighters experience acute respiratory effects, including respiratory symptoms and decrements in pulmonary function

Background for Wildland Respirator Standard Development
Sacramento Metro FD firefighter’s personal request for standard
NFPA Standards Council considers hazards and risks
Feb 2007 - 2 letters from NIOSH identify science and supporting considerations Wildland firefighters experience acute respiratory effects,
including respiratory symptoms and decrements in pulmonary function
Intermittent, infrequent, short term exposures
Wide range of facemasks marketed without an appropriate standard
