We only have two efficiency Factors (light /Heavy) regarding workers wearing 
respiratory when work planning. We also do not adjust for the type of 
respiratory used (i.e. no difference in work planning in regards to worker 
efficiency between Full face or PAPRs)

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Powernet] Question on worker efficiency factor

Question from Columbia:

When planning work that requires or may require respiratory protection, what 
worker efficiency factor is used for wearing PAPRs? Do you adjust for the type 
of work being performed (light, medium, heavy, etc) when wearing PAPRs or keep 
the efficiency factor at 1.0 regardless of the work activity?
