half facepiece respirator

Place the

Check the seal of your elastomeric half facepiece

respirator each time you don the respirator.

1. Positive Pressure User Seal Check

Place the palm of your hand over the exhalation valve cover

leaks between the face and the faceseal of the respirator,

reposition it and adjust the straps for a more secure seal. If you

cannot achieve a proper seal, do not enter the contaminated area.

See your supervisor.

2. Negative Pressure User Seal Check

Place your thumbs over the

center of the filters and inhale

gently. The respirator should

collapse slightly. If air leaks

between the face and the

faceseal of the respirator,

reposition it and adjust the straps

for a more secure seal. If you

cannot achieve a proper seal,

do not enter the contaminated

area. See your supervisor.
