If the minimum calculated distance cannot be obtained, analtemative value for Recaiep may be chosen based on Table III-1 for use in eq. (IlI-1). See also para. 627. For example, o prevent lung damage, the distance a ‘pezsonis from the equipment should resultinan Recaten value of more than 6 m/kgi (15 ft/lb).
