Respiratory Protection:USE WELD FUME RESPIRATOR OR AIR SUPPLIED
    RESPIRATOR WHEN CUTTING, GRINDING OR WELDING IN A CONFINED SPACE OR
    WHERE LOCAL EXHAUST OR GENERAL VENTILATION DOES NOT KEEP EXPOSURE
    BELOW RECOMMENDED LIMITS.  MONITOR THE AIR QUALITY INSIDE THE
    WELDER'S HELMET, IF WORN, AND/OR THE WORKER'S BREATHING ZONE TO
    DETERMINE IF A RESPIRATOR (SUPPLEMENTAL SAFETY AND HEALTH)
Ventilation:USE ENOUGH VENTILATION WHEN CUTTING, GRINDING OR WELDING TO
    KEEP DUST, FUMES AND GASES FROM THE WORKER'S BREATHING ZONE AND
