Respirator Training
Training is required by WISHA for anyone who wears a respirator.
We also are providing this training so you will know how to protect your health.
If you don’t know how to use a respirator properly, you can get a false sense of protection.
Why is This Training Required?

How Respirators Work
How Do Cartridge Respirators Work?
When used properly, respirators prevent the inhalation of chemicals and dust in the air and protect the lungs.
When you inhale, air is pulled through the cartridge, where air contaminants are trapped.

How Respirators Work
How Cartridge Respirators Work
Air movement is controlled by rubber inhalation and exhalation valves.
The adjustable straps are used to keep the respirator snug on the face.

Respirator Cartridges
The wrong cartridge won’t protect you from dust or chemicals in the air.
A chemical cartridge doesn’t filter out dust.
There are several kinds of chemical cartridges.
Combination dust/chemical cartridges are available.
Use the Right Cartridge For the Job

Respirator Cartridges
Types of Cartridges
Dust cartridges filter out dust only.
Chemical cartridges trap different types of chemicals, but not dust.
Cartridges are color-coded for the type of chemical or dust.

Respiratory Cartridges
Respirator Cartridge Color Coding
Ammonia- green
Organic vapor (solvents) - black
Acid gas (sulfuric acid, for example) - white
Acid gas and organic vapor - yellow
Acid gas, ammonia, & organic vapor - brown
Chlorine – white & yellow
These are some commonly used chemical cartridges 12

Respirator Cartridges
Changing CartridgesCartridges must be changed regularly.
Dust cartridges are changed when they become difficult to breathe through or are damaged.
Chemical cartridges are changed on a pre-determined schedule.

Respirator Cartridges
Limits of Chemical Cartridges
Chemical cartridges can absorb only so much chemical.
When their capacity is reached, breakthrough will occur.
You can’t always tell if a respirator leaks by a chemical odor.
Some chemicals have no odor, or can only be smelled at high levels.

Respirator Protection
Half-face Respirator Protection Factor
Half-face cartridge respirators only provide protection to levels 10 times above the chemical or dust permissible limit.
Ammonia Permissible Limit – 25 ppm
Respirator Protection Factor for ammonia – 250 ppm
ppm = parts per million

Respirator Protection
Full-face Respirator Protection Factor
Full-face respirators can provide protection to levels 100 times above the permissible limit.
Full-face respirators also provide eye protection for irritating chemicals.

Respirator Protection
What is a Chemical “IDLH” Level?
“IDLH” means “immediately dangerous to life or health”.
Most chemicals have an IDLH level where cartridge respirators can’t be worn.
A cartridge respirator is too prone to leaking to use at levels above IDLH.
The only alternative is a supplied air respirator.

Respirator Protection
Where Cartridge Respirators Don’t Work
Cartridge respirators are not good for large chemical spills or leaks, or thick dust clouds.
Don’t use them in emergency situations – they won’t provide enough protection.
In the event of a major leak or spill, leave the area.

Respirator Protection
Where Cartridge Respirators Don’t Work
Cartridge respirators don’t work where there is a lack of oxygen.
Confined spaces like tanks or manholes can have an oxygen deficiency or high levels of toxic chemicals.

Respirators and Physical Fitness
Medical Evaluations
Medical evaluations are required for anyone wearing respirators.
Breathing through a respirator is work for the body.
Respirators can be hazardous to people with heart or lung problems.

Respirator and Physical Fitness
Medical Questionnaire
The first step is a confidential medical questionnaire.
A healthcare provider decides if you need a medical exam.
Results are only used to determine if you are fit to wear a respirator.

Respirator Fit
Respirators Must Fit Properly
Respirators must fit properly to prevent leaks around the edges.
Fit-testing must be done before first wearing a respirator.
Beards are not allowed when wearing a respirator.

Respirator Fit
Fit-testing
In fit-testing, you first try on several types and sizes of respirators.
After a comfortable respirator is selected, we conduct the actual fit-test.
The method we use for fit-testing is as follows: [describe]

Respirator Problems
When it Smells Bad or You Feel Sick
Sometimes, respirators don’t work.
If you notice an odor or feel ill, or think your respirator leaks, notify your supervisor.
Leave the area when necessary.
