Some jobs require employees be exposed to hazardous, airborne contaminants. And in some circumstances engineering or administrative controls either aren't feasible, or won't reduce the contaminant level to safe exposure levels. In these cases an approved respirator must be worn.
Respirators protect the wearer from insufficient oxygen environments, harmful dusts, fogs, gases, mists, smokes, sprays and vapors. Any of which can cause cancer, lung disease or impairment, as well as other diseases, even death.
This online respirator training compliance course is intended for all employees who either use or may have to use a respirator in the course of their duties, and addresses the classroom training portion of the required annual OSHA respiratory protection training.
Subjects covered include:
Why respirators may be necessary.
Steps to be taken prior to wearing a respirator.
How to put on, use, maintain, and store a respirator.
The limitations and capabilities of various types of respirators — and the contents of the OSHA Respiratory Protection standard.
Upon successful completion of our OSHA Respiratory Protection course each student will have access to a printable certificate and wallet card.
Employers must certify that each employee has received the required training within the past twelve months. This course satisfies the requirements of the OSHA Respiratory Protection standard (29 CFR 1910.134(k)).
