Half Mask
- MSA Powered Air Purifying MSA Hip-Aire Scott Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus Bullard Abrasive Blasting Assembly 1
R,egulators Flow Control Valves r\\(j SCBA Cylinders i
l Filter Cartridges and Canisters -
Supplied Air Lines i
Disposable Dust Mask For that equipment on a routine inspection frequency, the record of inspection on the equipment history file will provide proof of inventory.
1.2 Discussion A well maintained inspection program for respiratory protection 7
equipment at Millstone Station ensures initial and continued operability of this equipment and ensures personnel protection against airborne contaminates when using this equipment.
RPM Form 2.3.5-1 may be computer generated provided all '.nformation required by the procedure is on the form.

I 1.3 Applicability This procedure cannot be used for other respiratory protection equipment not maintained by Health Physics but approved for use by NNECo
- Industrial Safety and Health and Health Physics in accordance with MP-19-RSP-PRG01, " Respiratory Protection Program Description."
Breathing air supplies and associated equipment provided by vendors explicitly for use in diving operations is not considered respiratory protection equipment and therefore not covered by this procedure.
1.4 ~ Frequency 1.4.1 An inspection of respiratory protection equipment shall be performed as follows:
upon initial receipt for reusable items either upon initial receipt or prior to intended use for a
consumable items i
Monthly for in-service and active stored respiratory
=
protection equipment.
j Annually or prior to placing in-service for stored respiratory
=
protection equipment.
Routinely before and after each use.
Respiratory protection equipment stored for emergency use is inspected monthly and after each use.
1.4.2 Routine SCBA inspections are performed monthly.
1.4.3 Routine SCBA fiberglass-wrapped air cylinder inspections are performed weekly.
