(iii) Type "C" supplied-oir feipirolort, lontinvour fleworpreuurt-demond don. A type "C COntinuous flow or pressure-demand, supplied-air respirator shall be used to reduce the concentrations of airborne asbestos fibers in the respirator below the exposure limits prescribed in paragraph (b) of this section, when the ceiling or the 8-hour time-weighted average airborne concentrations of asbestos fibers are reasonably expected to exceed 100 times those limits. (iv) Etlobliihment o! o teipirolot picgiom. (b) The employer shall establish a respirator program in accordance with the requirements of the American National Standard .Practices for Res piratory Protection, ANSI ZP8.2-3969, which is incorporated by reference herein.
