Protect Lives. Prevent Exposure. Get OSHA-Compliant Respiratory Protection Training for Your Team Today.
Our Respiratory Protection Training is an essential safety course that meets OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.134 standard. Designed for employees exposed to hazardous airborne contaminants, this training teaches workers how to properly select, wear, maintain, and inspect respirators on the job.
From industrial environments to healthcare and chemical facilities, proper respiratory protection saves lives. This training provides hands-on fit testing (when in person), detailed instruction on written programs, and strategies to reduce liability and long-term illness.
Why Respiratory Protection Training Matters
In the early 1900s, workers across mining, construction, and manufacturing industries suffered lung damage from toxic dust and fumes. Tragedies involving asbestos, silica, and chemical exposure highlighted the dangers of improper respirator use.
OSHA's Respiratory Protection Standard was created in 1971 to combat these risks. Since its adoption, respiratory-related illnesses and fatalities have decreased significantly, but only when employers implement thorough training.
