Respirator Recommendations

NIOSH

At concentrations above the NIOSH REL, or where there is no REL, at any detectable

concentration:

(APF = 10,000) Any self-contained breathing apparatus that has a full facepiece and is operated in a

pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode

(APF = 10,000) Any supplied-air respirator that has a full facepiece and is operated in a pressure-demand

or other positive-pressure mode in combination with an auxiliary self-contained positive-pressure breathing

apparatus

Escape:

(APF = 50) Any air-purifying, full-facepiece respirator (gas mask) with a chin-style, front- or back-mounted

organic vapor canister

Any appropriate escape-type, self-contained breathing apparatus
