The purpose of this program is to ensure protection from respiratory hazards through the proper use of approved respirators. Respirators are to be used only where implementation of work practices or effective engineering controls of respiratory hazards are not feasible, while engineering controls are being installed or repaired, or for emergency or other temporary situations. Respirators may also be used when not required, i.e., voluntary use. The procedures established in this program comply with the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.134.
This program applies to EVMS employees and affiliates that have patient contact.
Before attending your respirator fit test, please complete the following requirements.
- Respiratory Protection Training
