Are respirators necessary to protect the health of the employees (or required by the employer)? Yes Establish and implement a written respirator program with the following procedural elements: • Selection of Respirators • Medical Evaluation • Fit Testing of Tight-fitting Respirators • Proper Respirator Use • Maintenance and Care of Respirators • Breathing Air Quality and Supply • Employee Training and Information • Program Effectiveness Evaluation • Recordkeeping
This saying that is against OSHA and here in California CalOSHA regulations to give untrained unmedically monitored and unsupervised school children N95 respirators
It’s a long overdue start but without explaining the purpose and effectiveness of the various filter elements the rest is pretty much useless. Been doing respiratory protection stuff from dozens of different angles, for at least six decades, and have most of the common equipment right here in the shop. It is so incredibly boring to always hear just pieces of the basic methods/problems/equipment spouted by people who obviously never read a book on the subject.
