SUBJECT:          Carbon Monoxide Alarm/Monitoring at Abrasive
                  Blasting Operations - [1910.134(i)(5-7)]

In response to your request for interpretation of which of the above standards to use for abrasive blasting, our position is that the more specific standard applies i.e., 1910.94(a)(6) takes precedence over [1910.134(i)(5-7)] and should be the only one used.
