Respiratory Protection:FOR CONDITIONS OF USE WHERE EXPOSURE TO DUST OR
    MIST IS APPARENT, A NIOSH APPROVED HALF-FACE DUST/MIST RESP MAY BE
    WORN. FOR EMERGENCIES OR INSTANCES WHERE THE EXPOSURE LEVELS ARE
    NOT KNOWN, USE A NIO SH APPROVED FULL-FACE POSITIVE-PRESSURE,
    AIR-SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR. WARNING: AIR-PURIFYING RESPIRATORS DO NOT
    PROTECT WORKERS IN OXYGEN-DEFICIENT ATMOSPHERES.
Ventilation:A SYS OF LOC &/GEN EXHST IS REC TO KEEP EMPLOYEE EXPOS AS
    LOW AS POSS. LOC EXHST VENT IS GENERALLY PERFERREED BECAUSE IT CAN
