Re: just MHO
CarolX,
Oh, how I agree with the rest of your post. But, the issue at hand is the interpetation of 6.4 of ISO 9001:2000. Once more..If an Auditor observes an employee wearing a respirator while he is painting product, I think (I don't know yet, but our consultant days it does) the Auditor can ask to see the Written Respirator Procedure and ask to see evidence that the painter has had his medical clearance to wear one. That includes the selection of the proper cartridges, etc.. I don't like it. Just look at the guidelines and you will see "Safety Rules and Guidance". I do not see any way around it. Of course, it's to be tailored to your specific industry. If heat is not an issue, so be it. For in-house calibration, under the old standard, heat and vibration was an issue. Nice to see you again!

So why can't we stick to the issue at hand. The requirements are for an enviroment to assure product conformity.
