Although you have chosen not to wear the respiratory equipment below the 25 ppm level, we are obliged to advise you of the proper use and limitations of these respiratory devices and therefore, a copy of our standard procedure for the use of the respirator equipment is also enclosed. As you are well aware, the purpose of the respirator equipment is to control your inhalation exposure to vinyl chloride below the levels required by the OSHA Standard even though the plant environment may be above those levels.
