4. Continued from Page 5 A WARNING 14 Historically the incidence of disease from overexposure to toxic substances almost always occurs because the OSHA regulations and industry standards applicable to the work practices involved are not followed Tt is therefore imperative that the employer acquaint itself with and follow all of these standards and regulations REMEMBER Respiratory protection is but one component of safe work practices To minimize the chances of overexposure all safety regulations and standards must be followed and Respiratory protection is the last line of defense to be employed The employer must first eliminate or minimize the levels of toxic substances in the work place by accepted engineering control measures Assuming the employer and the wearer do their part this respirator should provide the wearer with an adequate degree of protection Cautions and Limitations A Not for use in atmospheres containing less than 19 5 percent oxygen Not for use in atmospheres immediately dangerous to life or health B C Do not exceed maximum use concentrations established by regulatory standards D Airline respirators can be used only when respirators are supplied with respirable air meeting the requirements of CGA G 7 1 Grade D or higher quality E Use only the pressure ranges and hose lengths specified in the instruction manual J Failure to properly use and maintain this product could result in death or Seriou
