Employees who are required to wear a respirator in the workplace must have their respirator fit-tested (one "initial" test and at least annually thereafter) to be in compliance with 29 CFR 1910.134. We offer qualitative fit testing for employees attending HAZWOPER training, for a small additional fee.
Employees must complete all OSHA prerequisites before they can be fit-tested, including:
- Employee review of the company's written respiratory protection plan
- Recent training on the Proper Care and Use of Respirators and;
- A recent (within 30 days) Medical Clearance to wear respirators at work
Participants must provide: The respirator they will use at work, two (2) organic vapor cartridges, proof of a current respirator medical clearance, and completed respirator training. If you have facial hair, you must be clean-shaven the day you are fit tested. Finally, if you use multiple respirators at work (i.e. Full-Face and Half Face) make sure to purchase a fit test for EACH respirator you are having fit-tested. A separate test (and fee) is needed. Finally, ensure your Medical Clearance indicates ALL respirators you are having tested and use at work.
If you have not completed the OSHA Prerequisites (above), we offer competitive pricing for: Online Employee Respirator Training (English or Spanish) and Instant Online Medical Clearances.
