• PPR
• RESPIRATORY PROTECTION PROGRAM
What is PPR?
It is a process for selection, use and
maintenance of the respirators with the
purpose of ensuring protection
suitable for the user.
Before using a respirator, it is
essential
That a PPR (Profit Sharing Plan) be established, by
written com os procedures
specific to the workplace.
It must be understood by all hierarchical levels of the company.
It must be implemented, evaluated, and updated whenever necessary, in order to reflect the
changes in workplace conditions that may affect the use of respirators.
COMPOSITION OF AIR
78.1% Nitrogen;
20.9% Oxygen;
1% Other Gases.
IPVS ATMOSPHERE
It refers to any atmosphere that can
constitute a direct threat of death or
adverse and irreversible consequences to
health, immediate or delayed.

COUGH
It represents an effective way to get rid of

The air comes out with force and at a superior speed
at 100 kilometers per hour. Along with it, it carries mucus and
dirt.

CLASSIFICATION OF DUSTS
Fractionable: smaller diameter

As for the size Thoracic fraction: minor diameter
25 µm;
Respirable fraction: smaller diameter
that is 10 µm.

Pulmonary fibrosis is a disease with fibrosis and scarring in the lungs. It occurs a
hardening and progressive reduction in the size of the lungs, decreasing the

DUSTS
They are formed when a solid material is broken, ground, or crushed.
Originated when materials in the form
solids are subjected to processing
mechanical, such as grinding, sanding,
["crushing","cutting","roughing","machining"]
among others.
SILICOSIS
It is the oldest known occupational disease, characterized by the formation
of permanent scars in the lungs, caused by the inhalation of dust from
silica (quartz) for many years.
The exposure is common among:
Metal mine workers,
Sandstone and granite cutters,
Foundry workers and ceramists.
Use of sandblasting,
Tunnel excavation
MISTS AND FOGS
Fog and mist consist of liquid particles in the form of
droplets suspended in the atmosphere.
Nebulas: Generated by process
mechanical, like processes of
spraying, nebulization;
Mists: Product of condensation in
atmosphere of small particles
liquids of a previously liquid
volatilized by thermal process.
WE SMOKED
They occur when a metal or plastic is melted (heated), vaporized and
cools rapidly, creating very fine particles that remain suspended in the air.
They are particulates originating from
solid materials, metallic or
plastics, heated until their melting.
GASES
Chemical substances that are in the gaseous state when in
normal conditions of temperature and pressure.
Examples of gases are:
Oxygen, nitrogen, monoxide and dioxide
carbon, argon, methane, hydrogen
ammonia, propane, butane dioxide of
sulfur, nitrous oxide, ozone, among others
many others.
VAPORS
They are substances that evaporate from a liquid or solid, in the same way.
that the water turned into water vapor.
Examples of vapors:
ethanol, methanol, acetone, acid
acetic, mercury vapor, gasoline
diesel, benzene, toluene, xylene
formaldehyde (formol), chloroform, among others
numerous others.
TYPES OF RESPIRATORS
PFF1/P1: Dusts and/or Mists (aerosols)

PFF2/P2: Fumes (thermally aerosolized)
generated) and/or Biological Agents.
PFF3/P3: Highly toxic particulates
(LT<0.05mg/m³) and/or Unknown Toxicity,

MECHANICAL FILTERS
They are capable of retaining only particulate materials (dust, mists and
fumes present in the environment.
They are generally made up of

synthetic microfibers;
CHEMICAL CARTRIDGES
They may or may not receive some type of chemical treatment for the capture of certain
types of gases and vapors present in the environment.
They are usually constituted
