  1. Risk Band Approach Decision Matrix for Selecting Respiratory Protection Devices For Biological Agents

  2. QEx = Ventilation effect on exposure concentration

  3. G = Exposure Estimation

  4. Calculate Exposure Factor “C” C = G / QEx C is an estimate of exposure concentration

  5. Assigned Protection Factors (APF)

  6. Risk Rank For Organisms = R

  7. Required Protection Factor

  8. Other Selection Factors • Comfort: skin irritation, heat stress, breathing resistance, psychological stress • Infection control issues: maintenance, storage and use • Compatibility with other PPE: clothing, shoes, eye protection • Compatibility: corrective eye wear, microscopes and other optical equipment • Other safety issues: slip, trip, fall, retrieval, emergency egress

  9. Respirator Choices
