2 R ESPIRATORS 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 Simplest, least expensive, least protective Only protect against particles N-95 is most common, used in hospitals to protect against infection agents R ESPIRATORS Particulate respirators
