Notes

Individuals may have contact with or be required to handle hazardous waste.

For job positions requiring respiratory protection (more than a filtering facepiece – dust mask), certain tasks may require the use of a NIOSH-approved respirator. Respirator selection will be based on work performed, exposure, and duration. If a tight-fitting respirator is required, facial hair, temple pieces on glasses, or other items that interfere with the face-to-facepiece seal are not permitted.
