These brief written instructions cannot substitute for a formal Respirator Training Program. Such training must be taken prior to first
use of this product and should include an opportunity for you to handle the respirator, learn how to inspect it, have it properly fitted,
wear it in normal air for a long familiarity period, and finally, to wear it in a test atmosphere.
The Training Program should be based on the most recent OSHA Regulation 29 CFR Section 1910.134, CSA Standard Z94.4, or
Australian and New Zealand Standard 1715. You should also be familiar with any other pertinent regulations promulgated by
various Regulatory Authorities including ANSI Z88.2 in the USA.
FIT TESTING
Any respirator with a tight fitting facepiece may not be assigned until the user is given a qualitative or quantitative respirator fit test
and the results of the test indicate that the facepiece of the respirator fits that person properly. The 5400 Series is available in two
sizes. The letters "M/L" or "S" on oral/nasal cup indiicate sizes Medium/Large or Small. See instructions below for putting on the
respirator. Before occupational use of this respirator, a written respiratory protection program must be implemented meeting all the
local government requirements. In the United States, employers must comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 which includes medical
evaluation, training, and fit testing. In Canada employers must follow CSA Z94; Australia employers must follow (AS/NZA 1715) for
specific Fit Test Procedures; in Brazil employers must follow MTE Respiratory Protection Program.
