One of the problems with many respiratory hazards (such as fumes or gases) is that employees can not easily see them. Even more visible hazards, such as dusts, are often accepted as part of a normal work environment. As a result, many respiratory problems only become clearly evident well after the original exposure. Yet once they occur, most respiratory problems are chronic and long lasting. To further protect employees from these hazards, both OSHA and NIOSH have recently issued changes to their respiratory protection requirements.
Respiratory Protection and Safety has been specifically created to assist facilities in complying with OSHA's Respiratory Standard.
The compliance manual provides a detailed summary of the information needed to comply with the OSHA standard, as well as a complete "fill-in-the-blank" respiratory protection program. The posters in the kit emphasize the importance of respiratory safety.
The program incorporates information required by the revised standard, including:
• How the respiratory system works
• Common types of respiratory hazards
• Causes of respiratory problems
• Potential effects of respiratory hazards
• Good respiratory safety practices
• Respiratory safety equipment
• Fit testing protocols
• Cleaning/disinfecting procedures and more.
The program comes with a comprehensive leader's guide, reproducible scheduling, attendance form, employee quiz, training certificate and training log.
Length: 23 Minutes
