You will need to comply with this standard if you are the manager or employer of a mine and intend to supply protective equipment to protect employees from radiation or abrasive blasting.
This standard specifies requirements, performance and testing criteria for the manufacture of respiratory protective devices (respirators) intended to provide protection against atmospheres containing substances that may be harmful if breathed and atmospheres that may be deficient in oxygen.
You must ensure that protective devices provided at the mine to protect against radiation or abrasive blasting are selected, used and maintained in accordance with this standard and with AS / NZS 1715.
Please consult the Contact Officer for more information and to ascertain the level of compliance (if any) that may be required.
