If you are working in a contaminated atmosphere, or
you are exposed to contaminants while in the work

take the necessary precautions. Failure to follow this
warning can result in serious personal injury or death.
Note: When ready to leave the work area, proceed to an
area not requiring respiratory protection*. Remain con-
nected to the air-supply hose until this "safe" area is
reached. Then remove the facepiece. The air-supply hose
can then be disconnected.
