Dear Mr. Garvey:
We have received and reviewed your letter dated March 12. Under the criteria outlined in your letter, both the exposure assessment and the selection of respirators would be acceptable.
OSHA expects that if the periodic monitoring required by 29 CFR 1926.62 indicates an increase in lead exposure, then the level of respiratory protection would be upgraded.
