Subject: National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory Public Meeting, December 2, 2008
The NIOSH, National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory (NPPTL), will conduct a public meeting on December 2, 2008 to discuss current respirator standards development projects for powered air-purifying respirators (PAPR); air fed suits; and open-circuit, self-contained breathing apparatus, end-of-service-life indicators. The NIOSH Personal Protective Technology program action planning to address National Academies program evaluation recommendations will also be discussed. There will be an opportunity for discussion following NIOSH’s presentations and an accompanying poster session discussing PAPR.
The meeting will be held between 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. On-site registration will be held beginning at 7:45 a.m. You may also confirm your attendance in advance to this meeting by completing a registration form.
