HEPA definition

HEPA means High Efficiency Particulate Air (filter).
HEPA means the designation given to a product, device, or system that has been equipped with a high-efficiency particulate air filter, which is a filter capable of removing particles of 0.3 microns or larger from air at 99.97 per cent or greater efficiency.

Examples of HEPA in a sentence

  • They are: • Open-flame burning or torching • Sanding, grinding, planing, needle gunning, or blasting with power tools and equipment not equipped with a shroud and HEPA vacuum attachment • Using a heat gun at temperatures greater than 1100°F • Clean up thoroughly.

  • Fully vaccinated employees are to wear face masks at all times while riding in a vehicle with others and when working indoors, unless the indoor space utilizes air filters with a MERV-13 rating or higher, or alternatively, the indoor space has implemented CDC recommendations on air filtration in buildings (e.g., use of adequate portable HEPA filters and increased airflow) and the Producer makes best efforts to maximize airflow.

  • Portables and/or other rooms without HVAC or means of natural ventilation shall be equipped with low noise HEPA air filters with a large enough capacity and flow rate for the square footage of the room.

  • All classrooms shall use any combination of mechanical ventilation, natural ventilation, and HEPA air purifiers, as the individual room characteristics dictate, to provide adequate air exchanges.

  • The recommendations in this Exhibit A regarding physical distancing and PPE shall also apply to fully vaccinated employees when working indoors, unless the indoor space utilizes air filters with a MERV-13 rating or higher, or alternatively, the indoor space has implemented CDC recommendations on air filtration in buildings (e.g., use of adequate portable HEPA filters and increased airflow) and the Producer makes best efforts to maximize airflow.
