Did you know that OSHA regulations require employers to provide respirators when necessary to protect the health of employees (29 CFR 1910.134). Supplied-air respirators can protect employees from exposure to MDI/PMDI during spray application and may in fact be necessary to meet OSHA or other governmental workplace requirements.
