Dear Raghu
Let me try to give my views...
What I understand from your posting is that you want to send workers to work in confined space... For that your client safety advice to use respirator... You not wish the workers using the repsirator while performing the job... You also states that all the gas is within the permissible limit...
Now your question is that if an employee is medically fit he needs to use respiator or not?
My answer is Yes?
1. Whats the lose in taking extra precautions?
2. Also somebody suggest (Your client safety, surely with more expertise in the field) you that you must go for it and if your fulfill the requirement and anything goes wrong you will be in trouble.
3. Whats the gaurentee that the normal situations will not change? IDLH situation can arise at any time in confined space. So we have to be more cautious when comes to Confined Space.
