Section 296-307-62020. Follow procedures established for seal checking respirators.

Latest version.

IMPORTANT:

• User seal checks are NOT a substitute for fit tests. See WAC 296-307-62010 for fit test procedures.

• You may use a seal check procedure recommended by the respirator manufacturer INSTEAD of the procedure outlined in Table 21 if you can demonstrate the procedure is based on a scientific study that, for example, demonstrates the procedure effectively identifies respirators that fit poorly when put on or adjusted.

You must:

• Make sure employees perform a user seal check as outlined in Table 21, EACH TIME the respirator is worn, to make sure the seal is adequate.
