Respirator Awareness
Respirators are essential for protecting workers from airborne hazards when other controls are not feasible, in emergency situations, or as a supplement to engineering and administrative controls. They are designed to minimize exposure to chemical and biological contaminants, ensuring workplace safety.
When respirators are required, employers must establish a written respiratory protection program. A critical part of this program is proper training, ensuring that all users can select, wear, and maintain respirators correctly to maximize protection.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Define roles and responsibilities within a respiratory protection program
- Explain the hazard assessment process
- Select the appropriate respirator based on workplace hazards
- Recognize different types of respirators and their applications
- Understand fit testing methods (theory)
- Learn how to care for and maintain respirators properly
This course is ideal for:
- Managers and supervisors overseeing respiratory protection programs
- Workers who use respirators as part of their job
- Joint Health & Safety Committee (JHSC) members
- Health and safety representatives responsible for workplace safety compliance
This training ensures compliance with occupational health and safety standards, equipping participants with the knowledge needed for effective respirator use.
