Course Overview

Take a deep breath… and imagine stepping into a workplace where the very air you breathe is filled with invisible dangers. From chemicals and dust to other airborne hazards, respiratory hazards are often hidden threats that can have serious health implications. Whether you're directly exposed or in proximity, understanding and navigating these hazards is not just a regulatory necessity but a vital aspect of personal well-being and workplace safety. This comprehensive course is designed to help you navigate the world of respiratory protection, in line with the standards and requirements set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) under 29 CFR 1910.134 and 29 CFR 1926.10. We’ll begin by examining the nature of respiratory hazards, why they’re not always immediately apparent, and how they can have lingering long-term health effects. We'll also delve into the selection and use of suitable NIOSH-certified respirators, discussing the unique applications and limitations of each. Medical evaluations and fit tests are also an essential part of respiratory safety, so we'll explore the procedures, timing, and requirements that ensure protection aligns seamlessly with individual needs. Finally, we’ll examine employer responsibilities as part of a comprehensive Respiratory Protection Program, focusing on respiratory hazard assessment, selection and provision of respirators, free medical evaluations and fit testing, employee training, and record-keeping. From manufacturing and healthcare to construction, this course offers valuable insights and tools for anyone concerned with respiratory safety. Whether you're an employer overseeing safety protocols or an employee working in potential risk areas, this training will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to work safely around respiratory hazards.
