Respirator Fit Testing Requirements
As outlined under the respiratory protection standard, the following are key requirements:
- Employers must ensure employees using tight-fitting respirators are fit-tested prior to initial use, annually, and whenever a different respirator is used or a change occurs that may affect fit (e.g., weight loss, facial surgery).
- Employees must be trained on how to properly use and maintain respirators, understand their limitations, and recognize when they are defective.
- Employers must maintain records of fit tests and medical evaluations for the duration of employment and beyond as required.
- Respirators must be used in environments where hazardous substances exceed permissible exposure limits (PEL), and they must be worn consistently as per the safety protocols.
