Protective Devices and Australian Standard 1715-Selection, Use, and Maintenance of Respiratory Protective Devices, New
Zealand standards, or Japanese standards. Oxygen levels below 19.5% are considered IDLH by OSHA. In such
atmospheres, use of a full-facepiece pressure/demand SCBA or a full facepiece, supplied air respirator with auxiliary selfcontained air supply is required under OSHAs Respiratory Protection Standard (1910.134-1998).
EYE PROTECTION: Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) and a face shield. If necessary, refer to U.S. OSHA
29 CFR 1910.133, Canadian CSA Standard Z94.3-02, or the European Standard CR 13464:1999, the Australian Standard

appropriate Standards of Canada, the European Standard CEN/TR 15419:2006, Australian Standard 3765-Clothing for
Protection against Hazardous Chemicals, New Zealand standards, or Japanese standards. If a hazard of injury to the feet
exists due to falling objects, rolling objects, where objects may pierce the soles of the feet or where employees feet may be
exposed to electrical hazards, use foot protection, as described in U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.136 and the Canadian CSA
Standard Z195-02, Protective Footwear.
