Permissible, the employer shall provide the respirator users with the information contained in appendix d. the employer shall also establish and implement those elements of a written respiratory protection program necessary to ensure that any employee using a respirator voluntarily is medically able to use that respirator, and that the respirator is cleaned, stored, and maintained so that its use does not present a health hazard to the user. in addition employers are not required to include in a written respiratory protection program those employees whose only use of respirators involves the voluntary use of filtering facepieces (dust masks). the employer shall designate a program administrator who is qualified by appropriate training or experience that is commensurate with the complexity of the program to administer or oversee the respiratory protection program and conduct the required evaluations of program effectiveness. the employer shall provide respirators, training, and medical evaluations at no cost to the employee.

-selection of respirators:
the employer shall select and provide an appropriate respirator based on the respiratory hazard(s) to which the worker is exposed and workplace and user factors that affect respirator performance and reliability. the employer shall select a niosh-certified respirator. the respirator shall be used in compliance with the conditions of its certification. the employer shall identify and evaluate the respiratory hazard(s) in the workplace; this evaluation shall include a reasonable estimate of employee exposures to respiratory hazard(s) and an identification of the contaminant's chemical state and physical form. where the employer cannot identify or reasonably estimate the employee exposure, the employer shall consider the atmosphere to be idlh.

Construction is a high hazard industry that comprises a wide range of activities involving construction, alteration, and/or repair. Construction workers engage in many activities that may expose them to serious hazards, such as falling from rooftops, unguarded machinery, being struck by heavy construction equipment, electrocutions, silica dust, and asbestos.

the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (83 Stat. 96). Section 107 requires as a condition of each contract which is entered into under legislation subject to Reorganization Plan Number 14 of 1950 (64 Stat. 1267), and which is for construction, alteration, and/or repair, including painting and decorating, that no contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of the contract work shall require any laborer or mechanic employed in the performance of the contract to work in surroundings or under working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous to his health or safety, as determined under construction safety and health standards promulgated by the Secretary by regulation.

What Is A "Construction Worker?"
Under 29 CFR 1910, section 1910.12(b), OSHA defines "construction work" as "work for construction, alteration, and/or repair, including painting and decorating." Most other workers, such as those working on maintenance and upkeep of facilities, would be considered "general industry" workers. That said, the definition can get tricky when it comes to large-scale maintenance work. Depending on the size and complexity, OSHA may consider some "maintenance" workers to be doing "construction work." OSHA has issued an official interpretation regarding maintenance workers that may be helpful for maintenance workers to determine whether or not they do construction work.

This is OSHA Interpretation Letter and it constitutes OSHA's interpretation of the requirements for the Hazardous Waste Operations Emergency Response standard (29 CFR 1910.120).

"It is not the intent of the Agency to define an emergency condition in terms of an arbitrary quantity of material released due to the diversity of workplace conditions, conditions of chemical use, and types of chemicals used.

When, as a consequence of a release of a hazardous substance the following conditions, or similar conditions, may develop, such situations would normally be considered emergency situations requiring an emergency response effort:

High concentrations of toxic substances.
Situation that is life or injury threatening.
Imminent Danger to Life and Health (IDLH) environments.
Situation that presents an oxygen deficient atmosphere.
Condition that poses a fire or explosion hazard.
Situation that required an evacuation of the area.
A situation that requires immediate attention because of the danger posed to employees in the area.
Incidental releases that can be handled safely by employees in the immediate area, without the aid of a coordinated response effort from employees outside the area, would not be considered an emergency incident under 29 CFR 1910.120.

Employers, who intend to evacuate employees from the danger zone when an emergency situation occurs and who do not expect employees to assist in handling the emergency, are exempt from developing an emergency response plan provided an emergency action plan is developed in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.38(a).

The intent of the standard is to protect employees from exposure to the health and physical hazards of hazardous substances associated with hazardous waste operations and emergency response activities. Absent testing data on the mixture as a whole, the hazards of a mixture containing hazardous substances would be expected to be treated as a hazardous substance for compliance purposes.

The determination of how much of a solvent mixture spill (containing 10-100 ppm of benzene) would represent an emergency, is dependent upon many factors. It is not possible to respond to your specific question based on the information provided. However, in general, a theoretical concentration for each component part can be calculated based on the quantity of solvent spilled, the percentage by weight of volume of each component, and the size of the spill area. In the event the components of a mixture pose an additive effect, the TLV for the mixture can be calculated. Dependent upon the quantity of a solvent expected to be released and the size of the spill area, a determination could then be made as to whether or not such a concentration would result.

When the concentration of the mixture as a whole or the concentration of the component parts poses a condition previously described, an emergency situation would be anticipated requiring an emergency response".
