• Description:
  The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) respiratory protection standard requires that National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health approved respirators be used for protection in industrial workplaces (Federal Register, 1998). For respirators to provide the expected level of protection, employers must implement a complete respiratory protection program including the selection of appropriate respirators for exposed workers. The protection provided by a respirator is estimated based on the OSHA definition of the assigned protection factor (OSHA, 2006). [Description provided by NIOSH]
