A plating shop supervisor plans to use air-purifying respirators with organic vapor cartridges for workers exposed to a solvent vapor. The cartridges have no NIOSH-certified end-of-service-life indicator that suits the shop's conditions. What must the employer do to make this selection compliant?

1. A.Apply a maximum use concentration to the vapor and keep the same cartridges without any change schedule
2. B.Switch to a filtering facepiece respirator, because it is certified for particulates
3. C.Let each worker replace the cartridge whenever the worker decides it is time, as long as the worker has been fit tested
4. D.Implement a cartridge change schedule based on objective information or data, and describe that information and its basis in the respirator program

2. B.Wash hands only if visible blood is seen on the skin after glove removal
3. C.Wash hands at the end of the shift, provided clean gloves are worn for each patient
