Compliance Begins with Medical Clearance
Before an employee ever puts on a respirator, OSHA requires confirmation that they’re medically fit to wear one. As part of GMG EnviroSafe’s Respiratory Protection Program, our Respirator Medical Evaluations connect your team with licensed healthcare professionals who conduct required assessments quickly, securely, and in full compliance with 29 CFR 1910.134. We make it easy to manage safety and compliance, before the fit test ever begins.

Who Is This Service For
Meet OSHA Requirements for Respirator Use
This service is required for any employee who will use a tight-fitting respirator, such as an N95, half-face, full-face, or PAPR with a tight-fitting facepiece. Whether you operate in manufacturing, construction, healthcare, auto refinishing, or hazmat response, if respirators are part of the job, so is medical clearance. GMG makes sure this critical step is completed before your team is fit tested or exposed.

Why It Matters
Medical Risks Can Be Invisible And Noncompliance Can Be Costly
Wearing a respirator puts stress on the heart and lungs. Without medical clearance, an employee could suffer serious health effects or even fatal complications. OSHA mandates medical evaluations before any fit testing or use of a respirator to protect workers, and failing to comply can lead to citations, fines, or liability in the event of an incident. GMG streamlines the process so you meet the requirement without delay or confusion.
