Abestos: - ANSWER-Asbestos contains fibers that are very strong and resistant to heat
and chemicals. Asbestos is often used to insulate vessels and piping. Asbestos is used
in siding, shingles and floor tiles. Under normal conditions, these fibers do not pose a
health hazard but they do become hazardous if something happens to cause these
fibers to be released into the air. When released in the air these fibers can cause lung
cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, or a lung condition called asbestosis. You must be
properly trained and wear the proper PPE if you work where there are dangerous
concentrations of asbestos.

cartridges that can REMOVE specific contaminants from the air before it reaches your
lungs. This type of respirator is ONLY to be used if the air contaminants have been
properly IDENTIFIED and the filter, canister or cartridge is designed to absorb the
amount of contaminant in the air. *** They must NEVER be used when the air quality is
not known and it could be Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health. The actual type of
cartridge, canister or filter that you will use is determined by the type of air hazard that
exists.
Air Supplied Respirators: - ANSWER-HOSE LINE AIR-SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR - This
type of respirator uses supplied air that may come from an air compressor that is

air is sent to the respirator face piece through a hose.
SELF- CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS (SCBA) - This is another type of Air-
Supplied Respirator. This type of respirator uses a tank of air that you carry with you. A
self- contained breathing unit (SCBA) MUST be used if the conditions of the air are NOT
known OR where the air is Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH). Different
SCBA's may last between 5 minutes to 45 minutes. 5 minute units are only to be used
for escape or emergencies.
