Description
This course extends its focus to the certification processes conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Participants will gain insights into the crucial role of NIOSH in determining the type of respirator required based on workplace exposures. The curriculum emphasizes the importance of accurate analysis and evaluation of respiratory hazards, including estimating potential exposures, identifying contaminants, and understanding permissible exposure limits. Furthermore, the course explores key scenarios necessitating the use of respirators, such as oxygen-deficient atmospheres, unknown atmospheres, chemical safety data sheet requirements, exceeded permissible exposure limits, and company policies. Describe the certification process conducted by NIOSH and its significance in determining the appropriate type of respirator for workplace exposures. Comprehend the essential steps in the analysis and evaluation of respiratory hazards, including estimating potential exposures, identifying contaminants, and recognizing the significance of permissible exposure limits. Gain knowledge about the specific scenarios that mandate the use of respirators, including oxygen-deficient atmospheres, unknown atmospheres, chemical safety data sheet requirements, exceeded permissible exposure limits, and company policies.
