Would someone please explain to me how the use of an N-100 filtering facepiece complies with OSHA regulations, particularly 29 CFR 1926.62? For years we have been telling contractors that the minimum respiratory protection is a 1/2 face air purifying respirator, and that the contractor needs to comply with 29 CFR 1910.134. Now, under the RRP rule, a filtering facepiece is sufficient. What am I missing?
