In 1976 the EPA issued the "Resource Conservation and Recovery Act" to regulate the handling of hazardous materials from cradle to grave. Ancillary regulations include OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.120 (AKA: HAZWOPER). This legislation requires extensive employee training, designed to reduce accidents, and improve workplace safety and health.
Over 5 million U.S. workers are required to wear respiratory protection. But the regulations can be confusing, leaving employers unsure as to just when continuous air respirators are required, as opposed to positive pressure, or pressure demand respirators.
