(a) Design and Operation.
(1) When local exhaust ventilation is used,
					 the system (including exhaust fans, jets, ducts, hoods, separators, and all
					 necessary appurtenances) shall be designed, constructed, installed, inspected,
					 tested, maintained, and operated so as to ensure the required protection by
					 maintaining a volume and velocity of exhaust air sufficient to gather dusts,
					 fumes, mists, vapors, or gases from the equipment or processes, and to convey
					 them to suitable points of safe disposal, thereby preventing their dispersion
					 in harmful quantities into the atmosphere of work rooms or other places where
					 persons are employed.
(2) When
					 general mechanical ventilation is used, the volume and distribution of air
					 shall be sufficient to dilute airborne contaminant concentrations in employees'
					 breathing zones to safe levels.
