Description:

"Construction jobs can expose workers to unsafe airborne contaminants (e.g., dust, fumes) that can harm health and lead to serious diseases. To prevent exposure to airborne contaminants, employers should prioritize eliminating the hazard, replacing the hazard, or implementing engineering controls (e.g., local exhaust ventilation) or administrative controls (e.g., rotating workers between hazardous tasks). However, when these controls are not feasible or are insufficient to reduce harmful exposures, workers should wear appropriate respiratory protection. To be effective, respirators must be properly selected and the user fit tested. Workers must be trained and follow employer and manufacturer's instructions for the proper use, inspection, maintenance, and storage of respirators. This includes proper donning (putting on) and doffing (taking off) procedures. Different types of respirators, such as filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs), elastomeric half-mask respirators (EHMRs), elastomeric full-facepiece respirators (EFFRs), and half-mask, full-facepiece, and hood or helmet powered air- purifying respirators (PAPRs), can be used to protect workers from airborne contaminants. Your employer should provide respirators that are approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) for use under the direction of a written respiratory protection program as required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)." - NIOSHTIC-2
