Learning tool for students. This shows how protective gear maps to shop hazards. It does not replace a real respiratory protection program. Actual respirator use requires fit testing, a medical evaluation, air monitoring, and following each product's Safety Data Sheet plus your employer's and OSHA's rules (29 CFR 1910.134). When in doubt, ask your instructor and read the SDS.
