Respiratory Protection
Purpose
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) general Industry Standard for Respiratory Protection (29 CFR 1910.134(b)) requires the employer to establish a program to help reduce exposures to occupational contaminants. When Feasible, Employers must eliminate contaminants by using engineering controls (such as General and local ventilation, enclosure or isolation, or substitution of a less hazardous process or material).
Establishing a Respiratory Protection Program consists of four steps:
-
Identify respiratory hazards and concentrations
-
Understand the contaminants' effects on workers' health
-
Select the appropriate respiratory protection; and
-
Train in proper respirator use and maintenance
