• 2.6.1.2 Respirator Inspection, Sanitization, and Maintenance
All respirators will be cleaned, sanitized, inspected, assembled, and maintained ready for
use on a daily basis. Each respirator will be stored in a clean and sanitary container. Prior
to use, the wearer will inspect the respirator, including the valves, valve covers,
nosepiece, straps, eyepiece (for full-face respirators), face piece and its snaps, cylinders,
and canisters to insure that the respirator can be worn. The Subcontractor will provide
initial training concerning the use of respirator equipment, but each employee will be
responsible for cleaning, inspecting, maintaining, sanitizing, and storage of his/her
respirator equipment.
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. 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.
2.6.2 Medical Response Equipment
The following medical response equipment shall be available on-site for the duration of
• the site activities. The locations of these equipment stations shall be determined at the site
and incorporated into this HASP upon initiation of each task. The Contractor CSO shall
maintain responsibility for the incorporation of this information into this HASP.
- Eyewash Stations: The location of emergency eyewash stations shall be
determined. Each station shall provide a continuous spray of a rate of 0.4 gallons

a general guideline, each Subcontractor shall provide, at minimum, one first aid

operations) or directly outside the decontamination area (contaminant reduction
zone) (for Level C or Level B operations).

The locations of eyewashes, first aid kits, AED, and the procedures for using and
