| Abstract |
A survey of 28 U.S. companies using negative pressure air-purifying respirators revealed that although the majority of companies were meeting requirements regarding inspection, cleaning, maintenance and storage of respirators, some improvements were necessary: inspection of all respirator parts should be carried out before each use; replacement parts should be made readily available on site; regular cleaning should be performed; and more hands-on practice with respirators and their maintenance should be incorporated into training sessions. |
