There have been many technological advances in the years since this rule was written, including in personal protective equipment (PPE) materials, certification and testing. The proposed amendments update the required standards for hazardous materials protective equipment. Under WAC 296-305-04001, Respiratory equipment protection, an update to the reference to ANSI/CGA G6-1, Commodity Specification for Air, will fix a typo in the standard number.
