Description

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of respiratory protection in workplaces where potential exposure to airborne contaminants exceeds occupational exposure limits. Participants will learn the importance of hazard assessments and air monitoring to identify risks and airborne exposures. The course covers the selection and proper fit testing of different respirator types, including surgical masks, N95 respirators, half mask respirators, full face respirators, and escape-only respirators. It emphasizes the necessity of additional medical evaluations for specific environments and highlights the significance of ongoing training and practice for effective respirator use in emergency situations. Acquire knowledge of the hazard assessment and air monitoring processes to identify potential airborne contaminant risks in the workplace. Describe the selection, fit testing, and proper use of various respirator types, including N95 respirators, half mask respirators, full face respirators, and escape-only respirators. Recognize the importance of ongoing training, practice, and collaboration with supervisors to ensure effective respiratory protection in diverse workplace scenarios.
