| Abstract |
The purpose of this code of practice is to provide information and guidance on the selection, use and maintenance of respiratory protective devices. It is to serve as a reference standard for acceptable practices for respirator usage in Singapore. The mere provision of a respirator does not by itself ensure the protection of a worker: it must be the correct type of respiratory protection for the particular situation. This code contains requirements and recommendations on respirator selection, respirator fit, training, medical fitness, respirator maintenance and breathing air quality. |
