Many factors influence how long PPE (especially respirators) re-
mains effective. As well as hours of use, an air-purifying respira-
tor’s service life is affected by the concentration of dust and other
contaminants in the enviroment; the user’s body size; how strenu-
ously the user works while the respirator is worn; and how the res-
pirator is stored.
Note: As a result, it’s not possible to specify a length of time after
which a respirator should be replaced.
In general, replace a mask or filter when it is visibly dirty or dam-
aged, or when you experience difficulty breathing through it. Re-
place respirator cartridges when you can smell or taste chemical
while or after using the respirator, or according to the manufactur-
er’s recommendations. Replacement or repairs shall be done only
by experienced person with parts designed for the PPE. No at-
tempts shall be made to replace components or to make adjust-
ments or repairs beyond the manufacturer’s recommendations.
