1. Proper use of respirator , schedules for cleaning, selection of the proper respirators,
procedures for testing the proper fitting of respirators, proper use of respirators during an
emergency, regular evaluation of the effectiveness of the program. 2. Air purifying
respirators remove specific air contaminants by passing ambient air through
the air purifying element 3. Phosgene, Zinc, Cadmium, 4. Any chemicals that are in
the metal shop will become mixed with welding fumes, a
combination that can be extremely hazardous and/or flammable. 5. Areas that have
10,000 cubic ft or more per welder or have the ceiling 16 ft high or
