Respirator Fit Clearance

WHo can we help

Medically speaking, all respirator-wearing personnel should have a medical evaluation provided by the employer to determine the employee’s ability to use a respirator.

The medical evaluation needs to be conducted before the employee is allowed to wear a respirator.

Note: A respirator clearance only clears the employee to wear a respirator and the general type of respirator they can use. It does not medically clear an officer for duty.

What are the OSHA Regulations?

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134

Employers must provide respiratory protection to their employees when such equipment is necessary to protect the health of the employee against breathing airborne containments. Before wearing a respirator, workers must first be medically evaluated using the mandatory “Respirator Medical Evaluation Questionnaire.” This must be reviewed with a PLHCP. When required by the PLHCP, additional follow-up testing may include a medical exam, additional questionnaire, PFT, EKG, chest x-ray, blood draw and urine sample. All testing will be performed by a PLHCP and/or trained technician. Annual requirement. Approximately 25 minutes
