29 CFR 1910.134
OSHA - Respiratory Protection Standard
Respirator Program - Where Respirator Use is Not Required
Procedure Steps
Step
Action
1
Employer may provide respirators at employee’s
request or permit employees to use their own
respirators, if employer determines that such use in
itself will not create a hazard
2
If voluntary use is permissible, employer must provide
users with the information contained in Appendix D
3
Must establish and implement those elements of a
written program necessary to ensure that employee is
medically able to use the respirator and that it is
cleaned, stored, and maintained so it does not
present a health hazard to the user
4
Exception: Employers are not required to include in a
written program employees whose only use of
respirators involves voluntary use of filtering
facepieces (dust masks).
Selection of Respirators
Work Instruction
Selection of Respirators
29 CFR 1910.134
OSHA - Respiratory Protection Standard
Selection of Respirators
Employer must select and provide an appropriate respirator
based on the respiratory hazards to which the worker is
exposed and workplace and user factors that affect respirator
performance and reliability.
Procedure Steps
Step
Action
1
Select a NIOSH-certified respirator that shall be used
in compliance with the conditions of its certification
2
Identify and evaluate the respiratory hazards in the
workplace, including a reasonable estimate of
employee exposures and identification of the
contaminant’s chemical state and physical form
3
Where exposure cannot be identified or reasonably
estimated, the atmosphere shall be considered
Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH)

Selection of Respirators
29 CFR 1910.134
OSHA - Respiratory Protection Standard
An atmosphere that poses an immediate threat to life, would
cause irreversible adverse health effects, or would impair an
individual’s ability to escape from a dangerous atmosphere.
Oxygen Deficient
Atmosphere
An atmosphere with an oxygen content below 19.5% by
volume
All oxygen deficient atmospheres are considered IDLH
Respirators for
IDLH
Atmospheres
Respirators provided only for escape from IDLH atmospheres
shall be NIOSH-certified for escape from the atmosphere in
which they will be used.
Exception: Employers may use any atmosphere-supplying
respirator, provided they can demonstrate, under all
foreseeable conditions, that oxygen levels in the work area
can be maintained within the ranges specified in Table II (i.e.,
between 19.5% and a lower value that corresponds to an
altitude-adjusted oxygen partial pressure equivalent to 16%
oxygen at sea level).
Assigned Protection Factor (APF)
The workplace level of respiratory protection that a respirator
or class of respirators is expected to provide to employees
when the employer implements a continuing, effective
respiratory protection program as specified in this section.
Work Instruction
Selection of Respirators
29 CFR 1910.134
OSHA - Respiratory Protection Standard
Must use the APF’s listed in Table 1 to select a respirator that
meets or exceeds the required level of protection
When using a combination respirator (e.g., airline with an air-
purifying filter), must ensure that the APF is appropriate to the
mode of operation in which the respirator is being used
Maximum Use Concentration (MUC)
Work Instruction
Selection of Respirators
29 CFR 1910.134
OSHA - Respiratory Protection Standard
The maximum atmospheric concentration of a hazardous
substance from which an employee can be expected to be
protected when wearing a respirator, and is determined by the
assigned protection factor of the respirator or class of
respirators and the exposure limit of the hazardous substance
MUC = APF x OSHA Exposure Limit
1
1
When no OSHA exposure limit is available for a hazardous
substance, the employer must determine an MUC on the basis
of relevant available information and informed professional
judgment.
Must select a respirator that maintains exposure to the
hazardous substance, when measured outside the
respirator, at or below the MUC
Must not apply MUCs to conditions that are IDLH;
instead must use respirators listed for IDLH conditions
per paragraph (d)(2)
When the calculated MUC exceeds the IDLH level for a
hazardous substance, or the performance limits of the
cartridge or canister, then employers must set the
maximum MUC at that lower limit
Must select a respirator appropriate for the chemical
state and physical form of the contaminant
What is the MUC for an employee wearing a half-mask air
purifying respirator (APF=10) in an atmosphere of sulfur
dioxide gas (PEL=5 ppm)?
MUC = APF x OSHA Exposure Limit
MUC = 10 x 5 ppm = 50 ppm
Note that this calculated value does not exceed the IDLH level
for sulfur dioxide (100 ppm), so that the MUC for this example
would be 50 ppm.
End-of-Service-Life Indicator (ESLI)
Work Instruction
Selection of Respirators
29 CFR 1910.134
OSHA - Respiratory Protection Standard
A system that warns the user of the approach of the end of
adequate respiratory protection; e.g., the sorbent is
approaching saturation or is no longer effective.
Atmosphere-supplying respirator, or
Air-purifying respirator, provided that:
respirator is equipped with an end-of-service-life
indicator (ESLI) certified by NIOSH for the contaminant;
or
if there is no ESLI appropriate for conditions in the
workplace, employer implements a change schedule for
canisters and cartridges based on objective information
or data that will ensure that they are changed before the
end of their service life
o
employer must describe the information and data
relied upon and basis for the change schedule and
reliance on the data
On July 10, 1995, 30 CFR 11 ("Part 11") was replaced by 42
CFR 84 ("Part 84")
