S - Special or Critical User's Instructions
3M™ Organic Vapor Service Life Indicator Cartridges (6001i and 60921i) are equipped with a passive 3M™ End of Service Life Indicator (ESLI). The
indicator must be readily seen when wearing the respirator. If you cannot readily see the ESLI, use a mirror to observe the ESLI; rely on a co-worker
who can see the ESLI; or go to a clean area, remove the respirator and view the ESLI. Do not rely solely on the organic vapor ESLI unless your
employer has determined that it is appropriate for your workplace. See 6001i or 60921i User Instructions for more information, including Special
Instructions regarding the ESLI.
3M™ Mercury Vapor, Organic Vapor and Acid Gas Cartridges (6007 and 60927) must be discarded within 50 hours of use against mercury vapor.
3M™ Particulate Filter P95, Hydrogen Fluoride, with Nuisance Level Acid Gas Relief, 2076HF and 3M™ Particulate Filter P100, Hydrogen Fluoride,
with Nuisance Level Acid Gas Relief, 7093C are recommended for relief against nuisance levels of acid gases or organic vapors. Nuisance level refers
to concentrations not exceeding OSHA PEL or applicable government occupational exposure limits, whichever is lower. Do not use for respiratory
protection against acid gases or organic vapors, except hydrogen fluoride.
Respirator Program Management
Occupational use of respirators must be in compliance with applicable health and safety standards. By law U.S. employers must establish
a written respiratory protection program meeting the requirements of the OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard 29 CFR 1910.134 and any
applicable OSHA substance specific standards. In Canada, CSA standard Z94.4 requirements must be met and/or requirements of the applicable
jurisdiction, as appropriate.
Consult an industrial hygienist or call 3M Technical Service with questions concerning applicability of these products to your job requirements.
