Filtering air purifying respirator usage limits

A filtering APR unit – gas mask or powered air purifying respirator equipped with respirator cartridge – should not be used in the following situations:

  • When the oxygen rate is under 19%.
  • When working in a confined space or a poorly ventilated area like tunnels, tanks or boat slips
  • When the pollutant concentration is unknown or immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH)
  • When the pollutant concentration exceeds the maximum allowed concentration of the filter

In these situations using a self contained respiratory protection, aslo known as atmosphere supplying respirators, is recommended.
