Chapter 296-841 WAC

RESPIRATORY HAZARDS


NEW SECTION
WAC 296-841-100   Scope.  

     IMPORTANT:

     This chapter applies only if your employees:

     • Are exposed to a respiratory hazard

     OR

     • Could be exposed to one of the specific hazards listed below.

     This chapter applies to any workplace with potential or actual employee exposure to respiratory hazards. It requires you to protect employees from respiratory hazards by applying this protection strategy:

     • Evaluate employee exposures to determine if controls are needed

     • Use feasible controls. For example, enclose or confine the operation, use ventilation systems, or substitute with less toxic material

     • Use respirators if controls are not feasible or if they cannot completely control the hazard.

     Definition:

     Exposed or exposure:

     The contact an employee has with a toxic substance, harmful physical agent or oxygen deficient condition. Exposure can occur through various routes of entry, such as inhalation, ingestion, skin contact, or skin absorption.

Note: Examples of substances that may be respiratory hazards when airborne include:
• Chemicals listed in Table 3
• Any substance
– Listed in the latest edition of the NIOSH Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances
– For which positive evidence of an acute or chronic health hazard exists through tests conducted by, or known to, the employer
– That may pose a hazard to human health as stated on a material safety data sheet kept by, or known to, the employer
• Atmospheres considered oxygen deficient
• Biological agents such as harmful bacteria, viruses or fungi
– Examples include airborne TB aerosols and anthrax
• Pesticides with a label requirement for respirators
• Chemicals used as crowd control agents such as pepper spray
• Chemicals present at clandestine drug labs.
These substances can be airborne as dusts, fibers, fogs, fumes, mists, gases, smoke, sprays, vapors, or aerosols.
Reference: • Substances in Table 3 that are marked with an X in the "skin" column may require personal protective equipment (PPE). See WAC 296-800-160, Personal protective equipment, for additional information and requirements.
• If any of the following hazards are present in your workplace, you will need both this chapter and any of the following specific rules that apply:

NEW SECTION
WAC 296-841-200   Evaluate and control employee exposures.  

     Summary

     Your responsibility:

     To protect your employees from exposure to respiratory hazards in the workplace by identifying and controlling the hazards.

     You must:

     Identify and evaluate employee exposures

     WAC 296-841-20005

     Control employee exposures

     WAC 296-841-20010

     Use respirators

     WAC 296-841-20015

     Notify employees

     WAC 296-841-20020.

[]


NEW SECTION
WAC 296-841-20005   Identify and evaluate respiratory hazards.  

     You must:

     • Make sure employees are protected from potentially hazardous exposure while you perform your evaluation

     • Perform your evaluation without considering the protection provided to employees by a respirator

     • Determine the form of the hazard, such as dust, mist, gas, oxygen deficiency, or biological agent.

     • Make sure you include:

     – Potential emergency and rescue situations that may occur, such as equipment or power failures, uncontrolled chemical reactions, fire, explosion, or human error

     – Workplace conditions such as work processes, types of material, control methods, work practices and environmental conditions.

     • Determine or reasonably estimate whether any employee is or could be exposed to any of the following:

     – Any airborne substance above a PEL listed in Table 3

     – A substance at or above the action level specified in the rule for that substance

     – Any other respiratory hazard.

     • Use any of the following to determine employee exposure:

     – Information that would allow an estimate of the level of employee exposure, such as MSDSs or pesticide labels, observations, measurements or calculations

     – Data demonstrating that a particular product, material or activity cannot result in employee exposure at or above the action level (AL) or PEL

     – Personal air samples that represent an employee's usual or worst case exposure for the entire shift.

Note: • Rules for specific substances may contain additional requirements for determining employee exposure.
• Use methods of sampling and analysis that have been validated by the laboratory performing the analysis.
• Samples from a representative group of employees may be used for other employees performing the same work activities when the duration and level of exposure are similar.
     You must:

     • Consider the atmosphere to be immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) when you cannot determine or reasonably estimate employee exposure

     • Make sure employee exposure to two or more substances is evaluated using this formula:
Em = C1

L1

+ C2

L2

+ . . . + Cn

Ln

The symbol Is the . . .
E Equivalent exposure for the mixture. The PEL is exceeded when the value of E is greater than 1.
C Concentration of a particular contaminant.
L PEL for that contaminant, from Table 3.

[]


NEW SECTION
WAC 296-841-20010   Control employee exposures.  

     You must:

     • Use feasible controls to protect employees from exposure to respiratory hazards by:

     – Reducing employee exposure to a level that removes the respiratory hazard, such as to a level below the PEL in Table 3

     – Reducing the hazard to the lowest achievable level, when the hazard cannot be removed.

     IMPORTANT:

     Using respirators and other PPE is not a substitute for the feasible controls required by this section.

     Note:

Table 1

Examples of Possible Controls

Control: For example:
Using a different chemical (substitution) • Choose a chemical with a lower evaporation rate or vapor pressure
• Choose a chemical without hazardous ingredients
Changing a process to lessen emissions • Use hand rolling or paint dipping instead of paint spraying
• Bolt items instead of welding them
Separating employees from emissions areas and sources • Use control rooms
• Build an enclosure around process machinery or other emissions sources
• Automate a process
Removing emissions at or near the source (local exhaust ventilation) • Install exhaust hoods or slots to capture emissions
• Use an exhausted enclosure (like a blasting cabinet or laboratory hood)
Diluting and removing emissions in the work area (general exhaust ventilation) • Allow natural air movement to create an adequate airflow through an area
• Use mechanical fans
Modify work practices • Change the position of the worker relative to the work so fumes, vapors, or smoke do not go into their face
Rotate employees

– Some specific rules prohibit the use of this control method

• Move employees to another job that is without exposure, on a schedule to keep their total exposure below the PEL

[]


NEW SECTION
WAC 296-841-20015   Use respirators.  

     You must:

     • Require employees to use respiratory protection when respiratory hazards have not been removed using feasible controls. For example, use respirators at any of the following times:

     – While controls are being evaluated or put in place

     – When the respiratory hazard is not completely removed

     – When controls are NOT feasible.

     Reference:

     See chapter 296-842 WAC, Respirators, for respirator program requirements.

[]


NEW SECTION
WAC 296-841-20020   Notify employees.  

     You must:

     • Notify employees who are or may be exposed to respiratory hazards as specified in Table 2.

Note: • The notification may be provided either individually, to a group, or by posting of results in an appropriate location that is accessible to affected employees.

Table 2

Notification Requirements

Any exposure result above the PEL Within five business days, after the employee's exposure result is known to the employer
The corrective action being taken to reduce employee exposure to or below the PEL Within fifteen business days, after the employee's exposure result is known to the employer
AND
The schedule for completion of the corrective action and any reasons why exposures cannot be lowered to below the PEL
An exposure to these substances: In writing, as specified in the rule specific to the substance
• Acrylonitrile
• Arsenic (inorganic)
• Asbestos
• Benzene
• Butadiene
• Cadmium
• Coke oven emissions

• Formaldehyde
• Lead
• Methylene chloride
• Methylenedianiline
• Vinyl chloride

Table 3 "Exposure Limits for Air Contaminants"

     IMPORTANT:

     The following information applies to Table 3, Exposure Limits for Air Contaminants.

     • Exposure needs to be determined from personal air samples taken in the breathing zone OR from monitoring representative of the employee's breathing zone.

     • Ppm refers to parts of vapor or gas per million parts of air by volume, at 25 degrees C and 760 mm Hg pressure.

     • Mg/m3 refers to milligrams of substance per cubic meter of air.

     • For a metal that is measured as the metal itself, only the CAS number for the metal is given. The CAS numbers for individual compounds of the metal are not provided. For more information about CAS registry numbers see the website: http://www.cas.org.

     • Time weighted averages (TWA8) represent the maximum allowed average exposure for any 8-hour time period. For work periods longer than 8-hours the TWA8 needs to be determined using the 8 continuous hours with the highest average concentration.

     • Short-term exposure limits (STEL) represent maximum allowed average exposure for any fifteen-minute period, unless another time period is noted in Table 3.

     • The ceiling represents the maximum allowed exposure for the shortest time period that can feasibly be measured.

     • An "X" in the "skin" column indicates the substance can be absorbed through the skin, either by airborne or direct contact.

     • Additional requirements for the use of gloves, coveralls, goggles, and other personal protective equipment can be found in WAC 296-800-160.

     • The respirable fraction of particulate is measured by sampling with a size-selector having the following characteristics:

NEW SECTION
WAC 296-841-300   Definitions.  

     Ceiling

     An exposure limit, measured over the shortest time period feasible, that must not be exceeded during any part of the employee's workday.

     Dust

     Solid particles suspended in air. Dusts are generated by handling, drilling, crushing, grinding, rapid impact, detonation, or decrepitation of organic or inorganic materials such as rock, ore, metal, coal, wood, grain, etc.

     Exposed or exposure

     The contact an employee has with a toxic substance, harmful physical agent or oxygen deficient condition. Exposure can occur through various routes of entry, such as inhalation, ingestion, skin contact, or skin absorption.

     Fume

     Solid particles suspended in air, generated by condensation from the gaseous state, generally after volatilization from molten metals, etc.

     Gas

     A normally formless fluid which can be changed to the liquid or solid state by the effect of increased pressure or decreased temperature or both.

     Mist

     Liquid droplets suspended in air, generated by condensation from the gaseous to the liquid state or by breaking up a liquid into a dispersed state, such as by splashing, foaming, spraying or atomizing.

     Oxygen deficient

     An atmosphere with an oxygen content below 19.5% by volume.

     Permissible exposure limits (PEL)

     Permissible exposure limits (PELs) are employee exposures to toxic substances or harmful agents that must not be exceeded. PELs are specified in applicable WISHA rules.

     Short-term exposure limit (STEL)

     An exposure limit averaged over a short time period (usually measured for fifteen minutes) that must not be exceeded during any part of an employee's workday.

     Time weighted average (TWA8)

     An exposure limit averaged over eight hours that must not be exceeded during an employee's workday.

     Toxic substance

     Any chemical substance or biological agent, such as bacteria, virus, and fungus, which is any of the following:

     • Listed in the latest edition of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances (RTECS)

     • Shows positive evidence of an acute or chronic health hazard in testing conducted by, or known to, the employer.

     • The subject of a material safety data sheet kept by or known to the employer showing the material may pose a hazard to human health.

     Vapor

     The gaseous form of a substance that is normally in the solid or liquid state.
