Understanding the Breathing-Air System in Abrasive Blasting

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) defines abrasive blasting as “using compressed air or water to direct a high-velocity stream of an abrasive material to clean an object or surface, remove burrs, apply a texture or prepare a surface for the application of paint or other type of coating.” OSHA regulations governing General Industry, Construction, and Shipyards mandate the use of abrasive-blast respirators approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Blast respirators are Type-CE supplied-air respirators, commonly known as “blast helmets.” This article will review and explain the components and the requirements pertaining to the use of these respirators.
