in Lod A 31 Bibliothe 2 BULLETIN OF THE § 5 “3 U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR STAT'STICS - No. 512 WASHINGTON MARCH, 1930 CODE FOR IDENTIFICATION OF GAS-MASK CANISTERS PURPOSE 1. The purpose of this code is to provide protection against acci- dental injuries arising out of misunderstandings in the identification of suitable gas-mask canisters selected for use In connection with gas masks worn by men who are required to enter atmospheres contain- ing dangerous quantities of harmful gases, vapors, smokes, or mists {singly or in combination) or dusts in combination with any of these. By establishing a uniform practice those who may have occasion to use gas masks will acquire a knowledge of the identification colors and marks and will thus be assisted as much as possible in selecting proper canisters for specific conditions encountered. SCOPE 2. The requirements of this code apply to the identification of all gas-mask canisters used to afford protection against harmful gases, vapors, smokes, and mists, also dusts in combination with any of these, whether in industrial plants, in mines, in connection with public utility operations, in rescue work, in fighting fires, or in any other similar endeavor, except as used in connection with military activities. APPLICATION 3. The manufacturers of gas-mask canisters falling within the scope of this code shall see that all canisters of their manufacture are properly colored and marked in accordance with these requirements before they are delivered to their customers. 4. All who issue or use gas masks falling within the scope of this code shall see that all gas-mask canisters purchased or used by them are properly colored and marked in accordance with these require- ments before they are placed in service and that the colors and mark- ings are properly maintained at all times thereafter until the canisters have completely served their purpose. COMPLIANCE 5. In the interest of safety and uniformity, compliance with this code is urged upon all manufacturers and users of gas-mask canisters. Q4401°—20
