2.3.1 Clothing and Equipment

Clothing

When installing loose fill insulations you must:

Wear a long sleeved shirt loose at the neck and wrists, long pants, gloves and cap.

Wear eye protection (safety goggles, safety glasses or a face shield or a combination of these, as appropriate).

Use a NIOSH/MSHA approved disposable dust respirator, such as a 3M model #8710 or #9900 or equivalent. An appropriate training and fit- testing program must be incorporated into a respiratory protection program.

For more detailed information on recommended work practices, contact NAIMA or the product manufacturer.

Equipment

In addition to the usual tools needed to operate equipment and prepare the installation site, carry an extension light with long cord, extra bulbs, a step ladder and a flashlight for use in dark attics and closed-in areas.
