Respirator Medical Evaluation

If any of your employees are required to wear a respirator to perform any of their job responsibilities, they are required to complete a medical evaluation to determine if they have medical clearance to wear one throughout the day. This is a requirement from the OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard 29 CFR 1910.134.
