I was wondering if any nuclear (plants) facilities are using Non-NIOSH equipment for protection against facial contamination. I know that in 2007, a nuclear facility was cited (NCV)for using non-NIOSH approved PAPRs to relieve heat stress and limit the number of facial contaminations.
If you do use NON-NIOSH equipment to prevent facial contaminations: 1) What type do you use? 2) Do you document its use in any way? 3) Who controls the device or cleans/sanitizes it, if it is non-disposable? 4) If it has a blower (similar to a PAPR or MaxAir) who is responsible for ensuring that the batteries are changed? Thanks for any information you can furnish.
