The book is intended for managers, health and safety committees, safety specialists and occupational health professionals who need the most up-to-date and practical advice in a concise and easy to read step-by-step form rather than an abstract and theoretical reference on the subject. As in the first edition, the authors present individual components of a respiratory protection program by including chapters on the respiratory tract and how toxic substances affect the lung, different respirator types and their limitations, the criteria for selection, fitting, supervision, training, cleaning, administration and medical assessment, advice on how to set up an RPE (respiratory protection equipment) program, and case studies to illustrate the need of an effective RPE program in the workplace. An impressive number of new research and application related publications have been reviewed since the publication of the first edition. The references (including relevant web sites) and abstracts of these publications have been included to help the reader select appropriate resources for further reading. Experts guide you through the complex data presented to industries by OSHA, NIOSH, ANSI, BSI and other health and safety standards setting organizations and equipment manufacturersSaves time and effort in searching official OEM literatureSeveral case studies to illustrate the improper respirator selections and resulting detrimental effects 533 $aElectronic reproduction.$bAmsterdam :$cElsevier Science & Technology,$d2007.$nMode of access: World Wide Web.$nSystem requirements: Web browser.$nTitle from title screen (viewed on Aug. 2, 2007).$nAccess may be restricted to users at subscribing institutions 650 0$aBreathing apparatus 650 0$aRespiratory organs$xDiseases$xPrevention 650 0$aGases, Asphyxiating and poisonous$xSafety measures 650 0$aIndustrial safety$xEquipment and supplies 655 7$aElectronic books.$2local 700 1 $aPathak, Bhawani 776 1 $cOriginal$z0750674350$z9780750674355$w(DLC) 2001056550$w(OCoLC)48494341 856 40$3Referex$uhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780750674355$zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for information 856 42$zPublisher description$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/els031/2001056550.html 856 41$zTable of contents$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/els031/2001056550.html 907 $a.b13653775$b03-03-22$c24-01-08 912 $a991003240119707536 996 $aPractical guide to respirator usage in industry$9119685 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale026$b24-01-08$cm$d@ $e-$feng$gne $h0$i0
