4. Each employee will be responsible for cleaning, inspecting, maintaining, sanitizing, and storage of his/her respirator equipment. 5. If a respirator becomes chemically contaminated or malfunctions, the respirator will be replaced by the employer with a clean and sanitized respirator, and the contaminated/defective respirator shall be decontaminated and repaired before reuse, or tagged "out of service" and disposed of. 6. The respirator wearer shall inspect the replacement respirator for defective parts and leaks and will be fit tested if the replacement respirator is of a different make, model or size than the original.

10.3 CONTAMINATION PREVENTION

Work practices that minimize the spread of contamination will reduce worker exposure and help ensure valid sample results by precluding cross-contamination. Procedures for contamination avoidance include the following:

• Know the limitations of all PPE being used; • Avoiding walking through areas of obvious or known contamination; • Refrain from handling or touching contaminated materials directly; • Do not sit or lean on potentially contaminated surfaces; • Ensure PPE has no cuts or tears prior to donning; • Fasten all closures on suits, covering with tape if necessary; • Take steps to protect against any skin injuries; • Stay upwind of airborne contaminants; and • When working in contaminated areas, refraining from eating, chewing gum, smoking, or engaging in any activity from which contaminated materials may be ingested.

10.4 DISPOSAL PROCEDURES

All discarded materials, waste materials, or other field equipment and supplies should be handled in such a way as to preclude the spread of contamination, creating a sanitary hazard, or causing litter to be left on-site. All potentially contaminated waste materials (e.g., clothing, gloves) shall be placed in appropriately sized and labeled containers. Appropriate labels shall be affixed to all containers.
