What is Respiratory Protection Training?
Respiratory Protection Training is a critical workplace safety course designed to educate employees on proper respirator usage, OSHA fit testing requirements (29 CFR 1910.134), and hazard mitigation. This training ensures workers are equipped with the knowledge to protect themselves from airborne contaminants.
The course covers respirator selection, donning and doffing procedures, maintenance, and regulatory compliance to minimize health risks in hazardous environments.
The History & Importance of Respiratory Protection
Workplace respiratory safety has evolved significantly over the past century. In the early 1900s, industrial workers suffered from severe lung diseases due to toxic exposure. The establishment of OSHA's Respiratory Protection Standard (29 CFR 1910.134) in 1971 was a pivotal moment in reducing workplace fatalities caused by airborne contaminants.
One major case highlighting the importance of fit testing was the asbestos crisis, where thousands of workers developed fatal lung diseases due to improper respirator use. Today, annual fit testing ensures workers receive the highest level of respiratory protection.
