The employer must require employees to use respiratory protection when respiratory hazards have not been removed using feasible controls. For example, use respirators at any of the following times:
(1) While controls are being evaluated or put in place;
(2) When the respiratory hazard is not completely removed;
(3) When controls are not feasible.
