Location of the hazard area. Air supply for a hose mask or air line respirator requires a source of clean, uncontaminated air within the distance limits of the air hose, that is, 300 feet for a hose with an attached air blower and 75 feet without a blower. Obviously, before selecting a respirator of that type, the source of clean air should be identified. 

Respiratory protective equipment can be divided into two broad categories air purifying and air supplying devices. Air purifying devices are items such as dust masks, chemical cartridge respirators, and gas masks. The air supplying devices are hose masks, air line respirators, and self-contained apparatus. 

Some types of expls and tracers or igniter compns give off toxic fumes when destroyed by burning. Proper respiratory protective equipment, such as hose masks, airline masks, and self -contained breathing apparatus should be worn where such fumes are likely to be encountered...

Hose Mask This is one form of supplied-air respirator. An air line provides breathable air to a user mask from a suitable source A hose mask with a blower makes breathing easier during inhalation, because the blower aids the air flow from the clean air line. The length of piping and/or hose determines the distance a user can move from the supply. 

Ensure inspection of cartridge-type respirators on a monthly basis and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and airline hose mask systems on a weekly and monthly basis. Ensure that records of respirator inspections are maintained. Ensure that employees are fit tested and receive initial and annual spirometric evaluation prior to using a respirator.
