Respiratory Protection Regulations
29 CFR 1910.134

OSHA's respiratory protection standards help workers protect themselves from exposure to hazardous chemicals and/or particulates by wearing proper respirators. OSHA's Respirator Advisor Tool provides valuable information on respiratory protection programs and assists you selecting the right respirator for your application.

Respirators should be used for protection only when engineering controls have been shown to be infeasible for the control of the hazard or during the interim period when engineering controls are being installed. (See the Exposure Control Priority.)

Nothing stated in this advisor modifies the actual requirements of the respirator standard.
