The OSHA General Industry Standard for Respiratory Protection
(29 CFR 1910.134), as well as applicable state regulations, requires that an employer establish a respiratory protection program
when effective engineering controls are not feasible.
Respiratory medical evaluations are a required part of any
respiratory protection program. Respiratory medical evaluations must be completed prior to an employee being either fit
tested or required touse a respirator within a workplace.
Why Online?
In the past, in order to be in compliance with this requirement, businesses were forced to either
send their employees to an
occupational physician for an evaluation or employ the services of a third party trained and certified to preform the evaluation. Both
of these options often meant days, and in some cases weeks, between the time an employee is hired and when they can actually begin to
wear respiratory protection as part of their daily tasks.
Having this immediate, online, access increases employee productivity
by decreasing down time that might otherwise be
spent at clinics or a doctor's office; lowers administrative costs by allowing permanent access to records online; and can save thousands of dollars in fines for not being in
compliance.
Cost Consideration
Our online
Respiratory Medical Questionnaire is a low-cost option for employers that need to quickly and accurately medically
clear employees who wear respirators as part of their job.
With an introductory price of only $25 per questionnaire, it should not be
missed.
