OSHA 1910 General Industry > I Personal Protective Equipment > 1910.134 Respiratory Protection > 1910.134(d) Selection of Respirators > 1910.134(d)(3) Respirators for Atmospheres That Are Not IDLH > 1910.134(d)(3)(i) > 1910.134(d)(3)(i)(B) Maximum Use Concentration (MUC)

1910.134(d)(3)(i)(B)(1)

The employer must select a respirator for employee use that maintains the employee's exposure to the hazardous substance, when measured outside the respirator, at or below the MUC.

1910.134(d)(3)(i)(B)(2)

Employers must not apply MUCs to conditions that are immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH); instead, they must use respirators listed for IDLH conditions in paragraph (d)(2) of this standard.

1910.134(d)(3)(i)(B)(3)

When the calculated MUC exceeds the IDLH level for a hazardous substance, or the performance limits of the cartridge or canister, then employers must set the maximum MUC at that lower limit.
