Q: How do you know from the MSDS if you need to wear a respirator when working with chemicals that requires a respirator but only at a certain PEL?
A: You cannot tell from just the MSDS. Our recommendation would be to conduct air monitoring to determine what the exposure for the workers would be. If you can’t have air monitoring conducted, you’ll need to assume that the workers are exposed above the permissible exposure limits and follow the MSDS’ recommendation for respiratory protection.
