The 3M™ Australia Respirator SelectionHandbook includes a list of chemicals forwhich 3M respirators can be recommended.This information can be used to supplementgeneral occupational hygiene knowledge.Once workplace contaminants and theirconcentrations have been identified, theHandbook can be used to help select anappropriate 3M Respirator for nearly 700chemicals listed in the NOHSC ExposureStandards plus some ACGIH ThresholdLimit Values (TLV®s) or other recommendedexposure limits ((AIHA WEEL, OSHA PEL)not covered by NOHSC. (NOHSC –Australian National Occupational Health & Safety Commission) (ACGIH – AmericanConference of Governmental IndustrialHygienists) (AIHA WEEL – AmericanIndustrial Hygiene Association – WorkplaceEnvironmental Exposure Level)(OSHAPEL – Occupational Health & SafetyAdministration Permissible Exposure Limit).

and resources to perform maintenanceon the equipment? If not, suitablemaintenance free type respirators shouldbe used. (Refer AS/NZS1715 Section6.3.6.)

Respirator Program ManagementWhere respirators are in use in the workplace,a respiratory protection program should beestablished covering the basic requirementsoutlined in Australian Standard AS/NZS 1715“Selection, use and maintenance ofrespiratory protective devices”. Educationand training should be properly emphasizedand conducted periodically. Maintenance,cleaning, and storage programs must beestablished and routinely followed for reusablerespirators, Powered Air Purifying respirators(PAPR's) and airline systems.

Respirator FitAS/NZS1715 advises fit testing for alltight-fitting respirators. Whether you selecta maintenance-free or a reusable respirator,the wearer must obtain a satisfactory fit as

a hazard ratio. Then select a respirator withan assigned protection factor greater thanor equal to that hazard ratio.Hazard Ratio

intended only as a guide. Selection of themost appropriate respirator will depend onthe particular situation and should be madeonly by a person familiar with the workingconditions and with the benefits andlimitations of respiratory protection products.If you have any questions related to properselection and use of 3M respirators, or theuse of this Handbook, contact your local3M OH&ES representative or call our3M OH&ES TechAssist Helpline on1800-024-464.

There are four essential elements requiredfor a respirator to provide protection:

a) Is it suitable for the contaminant/ concentration?

b) Does it fit the individual to whom it isassigned?

c) Is it worn whenever the end user entersthe contaminated area? The comfort, worker acceptance and ease of use of equipment must be considered.

d) Is there sufficient training, commitment

indicated by a qualitative or quantitative fittest. Worker comfort must also be considered.

Wear TimeWorker acceptance, comfort and ease ofuse must also be considered. Removal ofthe respirator, even for short periods oftime, dramatically reduces the protectionafforded by the respirator.

MaintenanceAS/NZS 1715 covers the aspects of respiratorstorage, maintenance and record keeping.It promotes use of a central maintenanceprogramme thoroughly and competentlyconducted. The conditions of approval andvarious regulations require that the respiratoris used in accordance with AustralianStandard AS/NZS 1715.

Protection FactorsThe respirator selected must have anassigned protection factor adequate for theparticular workplace exposure. Divide theair contaminant concentration by theoccupational exposure standard to obtain

Effects from Skin or EyeContactIf a chemical can be absorbed through theskin, skin protection may be required inaddition to respiratory protection. Eyeprotection may also be necessary if notprovided by the respirator. Failure toprovide adequate skin or eye protectioncan invalidate established exposure limitsand make respirator use ineffective forprotection against certain workplacecontaminants.

Worker ActivityConsider the entire package of safetyequipment required for the job. Therespirator selected must be compatiblewith hard hats, goggles, glasses, weldinghoods, faceshields, etc. In additon, theworker must be able to communicate, andperform required duties without removingthe respirator. If strenuous work is to beperformed, or if the respirator is to beworn for extended period of time, it isdesirable to select a lightweight respirator

No respirator is capable of preventingall airborne contaminants from enteringthe wearer’s breathing zone. Respiratorshelp protect against certain airbornecontaminants by reducing airbornecontaminant concentrations in thebreathing zone to below the ExposureStandard or other recommended exposurelevel. Misuse of respirators may result inoverexposure to the contaminant andcause sickness or death. For this reason,proper respirator selection, training, use,and maintenance are mandatory in orderfor the wearer to be properly protected.Use these respirators only for thosespecific chemical compounds for whichthey have been approved or recommended.

General Use Instructions• Failure to follow all instructions and

limitations on the use of these respiratorsand/or failure to wear them during alltimes of exposure can reduce respirator

• Do not abuse or misuse any respirator.

• Do not use tight-fitting respirators withbeards or other facial hair or conditionsthat prevent direct contact between theface and the edge of the respirator.

• Do not use when concentrations exceedmaximum use concentrations establishedby regulatory agencies such as NOHSCand State Authorities.

Location Of Hazardous AreaWhen specifying supplied air respirators,consider the distance the worker musttravel to get to an uncontaminated workarea, as well as obstacles or equipmentpresent in the area. If ladders or scaffoldsmust be climbed, an air purifying respiratoror a combination air purifying/airlinerespirator may be appropriate.

Respirator Characteristics, Capabilities, and LimitationsA respirator may not be able to help protectagainst all of the contaminants present in aparticular work environment.

• Many of the contaminants that can bedangerous to a person’s health cannot beseen or smelled even at dangerous levels.

• Before use of any respirator, the wearermust first be trained by the employer inproper respirator use in accordance withAustralian Standard AS/NZS 1715.

• AS/NZS 1715 advises that the wearer ofany tight-fitting respirator be fit tested atthe time of initial issue and once per year.

• Leave the contaminated area immediatelyif dizziness or other distress occurs, if therespirator becomes damaged or breathingbecomes difficult, if contaminants can besmelled or tasted, or if irritation occurs.

Format ExplanationChemical NameChemical names listed in this Handbookare generally those used in the document“Exposure Standards for AtmosphericContaminants in the OccupationalEnvironment” and updates published byNOHSC or the Threshold Limit Values and Biological Exposure Indices for 2003published by the ACGIH. Some Pesticidesand chemicals without establishedoccupational exposure limits are notincluded. Call 3M OH&ES TechAssistHelpline for help in selecting respiratorsfor these chemicals.

IDLH LevelThis is the concentration consideredImmediately Dangerous to Life or Health(IDLH), as published by the NationalInstitute for Occupational Safety andHealth (NIOSH) (DHHS [NIOSH]

Publication No. 90-117). It refers to theacute respiratory exposure that specificallyposes an immediate threat of loss of life,immediate or delayed irreversible adverseeffects on health, or acute eye exposurethat would prevent escape from a hazardousatmosphere. The reasons NIOSH establishedan IDLH at a particular level for a specificchemical are described in Documentationfor Immediately and Workcover. Dangerousto Life or Health Concentrations (IDLHs),NTIS Publication No. PB-94-195047,May 1994. The 1990 IDLH values are usedin this Guide since USA OSHA uses thesevalues for enforcement. For those substanceswith no IDLH listed, the manufacturer orsupplier may have additional chemicalinformation. The lower explosive level(LEL) and the concentration that wouldresult in an oxygen deficient atmosphereshould also be considered to be IDLH.

Odour Threshold*Odour thresholds should not be used as theprimary indicator for changing gas and

the other references were used. A few odourthresholds published in other documentswere used when not listed in the referencesbelow (e.g., AIHA WEEL documentation).The method of defining and determiningodour thresholds varies widely, therebygiving rise to a significant range of reportedodour thresholds for many substances.Individuals may also respond differently to the same odour. At a given concentration,one person may smell and recognize theodour, while another person may barelynotice it. The odour thresholds reported inthe literature are typically determined for asingle constituent, with no other chemicalspresent in the air. The single constituentsituation rarely occurs in the workplace.Therefore, caution must be exercised inusing these numbers. They may not berepresentative of odour detection capabilitiesof individual workers in your facilities. Onthe other hand, experience may indicatebetter warning properties than what isindicated by the reported value.

• The 2002 Workplace EnvironmentalExposure Level (WEEL) from theAmerican Industrial Hygiene Associationor OSHA PEL (Permissible ExposureLimit) is listed when there is no NOHSCExposure Standard or ACGIH TLV.

• The occupational exposure standardsrefer to Time Weighted Average (TWA)concentrations for a normal eight (8) hourworkday and a forty (40) hour workweek,unless referenced as a Peak (P) or STELvalue.

• Peak (P) Exposure standards refer toconcentrations that should not be exceededduring any part of the working exposure.

• Short-Term Exposure Limit (STEL) is a15-minute time weighted average exposurethat should not be exceeded at any timeduring a workday. Workers should not beexposed at the STEL for longer than 15minutes or for more than fours such periodsper working day – with a minimum of 60minutes between successive exposures atthe STEL concentration.

vapour filters. The respirator programadministrator, using objective data andinformation, should establish chemical filterchange schedules. The established changeschedule should result in replacing the filterswith new ones before their service life isdepleted under the conditions of thatworkplace. Reported odour thresholds willcontinue to be listed in the Guide becauseodour can be useful as a secondary or backupindicator for filter change-out. The primaryreferences for odour thresholds wereVOCBASE and an American IndustrialHygiene Association (AIHA) publication.When an odour threshold value was notpublished in either of these two sources,

Exposure Standards• The occupational exposure standards shown

are as listed in the NOHSC “ExposureStandards for Atmospheric Contaminants inthe Occupational Environment” web site at“http://www.nohsc.gov.au/OHSInformation/Databases/ExposureStandards/expsearch.asp” and their updates and the 2003 ACGIHThreshold Limit Values (TLVs), unlessotherwise stated. The concentrations areexpressed in ppm – parts per million(parts of contaminant per million parts ofair) unless specifically stated as mg/m3

(milligrams of contaminant per cubic metreof air) or some other unit.

• Skin notations indicate the substance canbe absorbed through the skin. In thesecases, appropriate measures must be takento prevent skin and eye contact to avoidinvalidating the TWA value.

• Sens indicates the substance is a sensitiser,and can cause a specific immune responsein some people. It may manifest itselfas a skin rash or inflammation or as anasthmatic conditon which can be extremelysevere.

• Carcinogenic substances are indicated bythe abbreviation CARC.CARC 1 Established human carcinogen

In cases where an air purifying respiratoris not available for all of the substancesof concern in a mixture, a supplied airrespirator may be required. In some cases,the respirator is preceded by an “(F)”designation. The “F” indicates use of a fullfacepiece air purifying respirator respiratorshould be considered for eye protection.For concentrations not exceeding ten times(10x) the TWA value, half facepiecerespirators (maintenance-free or reusable)with equivalent filters or filters may besuitable if appropriate eye protection isalso provided.

For concentrations greater than ten times(10x) the TWA value, follow the protectionfactor for guidelines in AS/NZS 1715Section 6, or refer to the instructions in theRespirator Selection Criteria and How ToUse This Guide sections of this guide.

Typically, an airline respirator isrecommended because the service life maybe so short that the frequency required forchanging the filters may not be practical.

Respirator PerformanceStandardProcedures for testing negative andpositive pressure respirators (includingfacemasks, head coverings and filters) areto be found in Australian Standard AS/NZS1716 ‘Respiratory Protective Devices’.

DefinitionsMechanically GeneratedParticlesDusts are are created when solid materialbreaks down and gives off fine particlesthat float in the air before settling by gravity.Dusts are produced by operations such asgrinding, crushing, drilling, blasting, sandingand milling.

Mists are particles formed from liquidmaterials by atomisation and condensationprocesses. For example, mists can be created

Vapours are the gaseous state of substancesthat are normally liquids or solids at roomtemperature. They are formed when liquidsor solids evaporate. Petrol is an example ofa liquid that evaporates easily, producingpetrol vapours. Other examples are paintthinners and degreaser solvents.

Thermally Generated ParticlesFumes are created when metals vapouriseunder high heat. The metal vapour coolsand condenses into extremely smallparticles, with a particle size generally lessthan one micrometre in diameter. Fumescan come from operations such as welding,smelting and pouring of molten metal.

Gaseous ContaminantsIn this selection guide, the use of “gas” inrelation to filters includes gases & vapours.Gases are substances that are normally inairform at room temperature. Examplesinclude oxygen, carbon monoxide, propane,nitrogen and acetylene.
