d. checking the type of respirators available for use in the workplace.

Explanation:

When selecting an APR (Air - Purifying Respirator), safety data sheets are important sources of information. Section 8 of a safety data sheet often contains information about personal protective equipment, including respirator recommendations based on the nature of the hazardous substances present. APR selection is not just a personal choice as different respirators are designed for different hazards. Just checking what is available in the supply cabinet or in the workplace may not ensure the respirator is appropriate for the specific hazard.

C. Referring to Section 8 of the safety data sheet for APR recommendations
