ii. If part of a Worksafe Australia Respiratory Protection Program the ratings on filters and cartridges are
marked on cartridges certified to Australian and New Zealand Standards as P, A, B, E and/or K.
iii. If these contaminants are included in filter or cartridge User Instructions.
• To protect against oil-based aerosols unless an 'R' or 'P' filter (defined by NIOSH) is used when the respirator is
part of an OSHA or CSA Respiratory Protection Program or 'SL' (defined by NBR standard).
• Without either an End-of-Service-Life Indicator (ESLI) on the cartridge for the gas and/or vapor present, or an
established cartridge change schedule for all gases and vapors for which there is no ESLI.
• In poorly ventilated areas, or confined spaces such as tanks, small rooms, tunnels or vessels, unless the
confined space is well ventilated and the concentration of toxic contaminants is known to be, and will continue
to be, below the Maximum Use Concentration recommended for the respirator.
3. FOR USE IN NANOTECHNOLOGY ENVIRONMENT: OSHA recommends the use of HEPA filters or the equivalent
NIOSH 42 CFR 84 particulate filters (N100, R100 or P100) for protection from exposure to particles created during
nanotechnology processes. P3 is the equivalent per the AS/NZS and NBR Standards. Nano particles are defined as
matter between approximately 1 and 100 nanometers (nm). Air-purifying respirators reduce, but will not completely
eliminate, exposure to these contaminants. Because of their extremely small size, nano particles may enter the
breathing zone from any minute opening in the facepiece where other particles would not be able to enter. Use of
powered air-purifying respirators or supplied air respirators would provide better protection against nano particles.
4. Immediately leave work area and remove respirator if:
• Breathing becomes difficult;
• You become dizzy or disoriented;
• You smell, taste or otherwise sense contaminants; or
• Your respirator is damaged.
5. This respirator will not protect exposed areas of face or body from gases, vapors or airborne particles that can irritate
burn or be absorbed through your skin. You must wear hand and/or body protection.
6. Do not alter or modify this device in any way. Any alterations or modifications, including painting, affixing labels or
using unapproved replacement parts can reduce protection and expose the user to the risk of illness, injury or death.
