Respirators may be used when engineering and work practice controls are not technically feasible, when such controls are in the process of being installed or when they fail and need to be supplemented. Respirators may also be used for operations which require entry into tanks or closed vessels, and in emergency situations. If the use of respirators is necessary, the only respirators permitted are those that have been approved by the Mine Safety and Health Admin ... or by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.
