Respirator Requirement Personnel perform many operations that require the use of respiratory protection. Most of the chemical operations use 3M S-600 or S-800 series hoods with inner collar which do not have fit testing requirements. The blasting operations use blasting helmets which also do not require fit-testing requirements. However, personnel have the option to use the full-face air purifying or the supplied air hoods for some operations. The powered air purifying respirator (PAPR) with the loose-fitting hoods (S-600 or S-800 series) can be used for some operations when the compressed breathing system is not operational. Supplied air respirators MUST be worn during Nitpicking operations. The following is a list of operations that require the use of respiratory protection:
