Thanks, \ LJK/st Attachment UCC 091543 VINYL CHLORIDE/RESPIRATORY EQUIPMENT INFORMATION You have previously elected not to wear a respirator at VCM levels below 25 ppm. OSHA requires, therefore, that you be informed at least quarterly of the hazards of vinyl chloride and the purpose, proper use, and limitations of respiratory devices. 1. Vinyl chloride has been classed as a cancer-suspect agent. Prolonged exposure to concentrations of 50 ppm has resulted in cancer in several species of rats and mice. 2. Respiratory devices are designed to either remove vinyl chloride from inhaled air or to supply a fresh-air source. This reduces personnel exposure. 3. At concentrations of 1 - 25 ppm, canister respirators are recommended; 25 - 3600 ppm, type C supplied air respirators; 3600 + ppm or unknown, self contained breathing gear (for release control or life rescue only). Manufacturers' in structions and Plant SOP should be followed. 4. OSHA acknowledges that respirators have many drawbacks; they are restrictive, inconvenient, may require additional personnel, interfere with production, or may require extensive retraining. In addition, some people should not use respirators because of physical limitations. If you have any questions concerning the above information, or VCM or Respiratory Equipment in general, please do not hesitate to ask. j After completing the information sheet, please sign the Training Roster.
