- Project-Specific Outlines: Use the included outline to customize a respiratory protection plan for your project.
- Relevant for All Workers: Ideal for anyone involved in Federal or government-funded construction projects. SSHOs, in particular, will find the course useful as they often act as the Respiratory Protection Administrator (RPA) for the project.
Note: SSHOs need to complete at least 8 hours of safety training yearly. This course contributes 45 minutes toward those 8 hours.
Who is required to wear a respirator?
Anyone who is working in an area where occupational exposure levels exceed OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs) or ACGIH TLVs, and engineering or administrative exposure controls are not feasible to implement.
Does OSHA require annual respirator training?
The Respiratory Protection Administrator or his designee must provide respirator training annually to personnel using respirators at the project, or earlier if the requirements or site specific operations change significantly.
What type of training must an employee receive prior to using a respirator?
Prior to respirator use, employees must be trained on:
- Why the respirator is necessary and how improper fit, usage, or maintenance can compromise the protective effect of the respirator
- Limitations and capabilities of the respirator;
- How to use the respirator effectively in emergency situations, including situations in which the respirator malfunctions;
- How to inspect, put on and remove, use, and check the seals of the respirator;
- Procedures for maintenance and storage of the respirator;
- How to recognize medical signs and symptoms that may limit or prevent the effective use of respirators; and
- The general requirements of the OSHA respirator standard at 29 CFR 1910.134.
On a USACE Project, Who is the Respiratory Protection Administrator?
On most Government Construction Projects, the Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO) typically serves as the Respiratory Protection Administrator. Therefore, a certificate from a Respiratory Protection in Construction class is beneficial for SSHO approval. Additionally, if an SSHO will be on a project requiring respiratory protection, it’s advantageous for their resume to include experience as the Respiratory Protection Administrator or designee, along with the certificate.
Does osha approve respirators?
OSHA requires the employer to select a NIOSH-certified respirator.
What are the 3 classes of respirators?
