  2. Respirators • Respirators should be worn employees might be exposed to vapor or particulate concentrations greater than the PEL, TLV, or similar limit. • Work with toxic chemicals that have low air concentration limits, or that have high vapor pressures, should always be done in a hood

  3. Respirators Particulate respirators • Simplest, least expensive, least protective • Only protect against particles • N-95 is most common, used in hospitals to protect against infection agents

  4. Respirators • Chemical Cartridge/Gas Mask respirators • Also known as "air-purifying respirators" • Includes a facepiece or mask, and a filter/cartridge
