Notify your supervisor of conditions in which you feel you are being overly exposed to an airborne contaminant. Initial hazard assessments were completed for all work sites and were distributed to departments. Flow charts and checklists at the end of this procedure will guide you in the selection and use of respiratory protection. All persons that have been medically approved to wear a respirator must complete the medical evaluation form annually. Forms must be completed confidentially and mailed or presented to a preselected health care professional.
Different respirators protect against different contaminants.
Also, cartridge-type respirators are available in a number of sizes and styles. No one respirator will fit all people. Using the wrong respirator may provide little or no protection and may cause illness or injury. Fit tests are recorded on the Respirator Fit Test Record form. Respirators are assigned exclusively for your use.
