Our Respiratory Safety training course helps employees understand the importance of respiratory protection and how to select, use, and maintain respirators in compliance with OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.134. An estimated 5 million workers are required to wear respirators across 1.3 million workplaces in the United States. Respirators protect workers from oxygen-deficient environments and harmful dusts, fogs, smokes, mists, gases, vapors, and sprays — hazards that may cause cancer, lung impairment, disease, or death. Compliance with OSHA's Respiratory Protection Standard could avert hundreds of deaths and thousands of illnesses annually, and proper fit and use of a respirator is crucial to protecting employees from contaminants or insufficient oxygen. This 30-minute program covers respiratory protection programs, respirator selection, fit testing, medical evaluations, and proper maintenance and care. Available in English and Spanish.
