RESPIRATORY PROTECTION TRAINING PROGRAM

 

PRICE:

$35.00 / hour

___________________________

 

DESCRIPTION:

Topics covered:

• Why you need to use the respirator.
• What the respirator can and cannot do to protect you.
• How to properly inspect, put on and take off, and use your respirator.
• How to check the seal of your respirator (also called a "user seal check").
• How to use the respirator effectively in emergency situations, including situations in which the respirator doesn't work properly.
• How to recognize medical signs and symptoms that may limit or prevent you from using a respirator.
• How improper fit, usage, or maintenance can reduce your respirator's ability to protect you.
• What the procedures are for maintenance and storage of the respirator.
• What the requirements are for federal OSHA's or your State OSHA's Respiratory Protection Standards.

 

You must be trained before you use a respirator, but this is not the only time that training is required.

 

If you use a respirator at work, you must be trained at least every 12 months. This annual retraining will refresh your memory on the information and skills you need to use a respirator correctly. It gives you a chance to practice with a respirator and to ask questions and discuss worksite-specific respirator use with your instructor.

 

OSHA requires additional retraining when changes in your workplace or the type of respirator you use make your previous training out-of-date.

 For example:

• You get a new work assignment that has different respiratory hazards and respirator requirements from your old job; or
• You can't remember the information and skills you need to properly use your respirator. This could occur when you use a respirator only a few times a year; or
• A situation comes up in which retraining is necessary to ensure safe respirator use. For example, your supervisor sees that you're not using your respirator properly.
