Colleagues,
Is anyone aware of a variance given to police officers for their use of
respirators.  This variance would enable them to use these devices
without compliance of the respirator protection standard as well as the
medical monitoring requirements.  I heard an urban legend that one does
exist and may be through "POST".  I have been working closely with our
officers and their PPE for homeland security (APR respirators).  I am
working on their training, implementation of a program, and medical
requirements.  I spoke with CAL OSHA Compliance and they had not heard
of such a variance and would hold the employer to this standard if
visited for an inspection.  Any info would be appreciatted
