Urticants respiratory protection

Immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) levels are the ceiling limit for respirators other than SCBAs. However, IDLH levels have not been established for urticants. Therefore, any potential exposure to these agents should be regarded with extreme caution and the use of SCBAs for respiratory protection should be considered. 

Urticants pose both a severe respiratory and severe contact hazard. Wear appropriate fully encapsulating protective gear with positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Structural firefighters protective clothing is recommended for fire situations only it is not effective in spill or release events.
