Respiratory Protection Training Course (4 hr.)

OSHA 29CFR 1910.134 — Respiratory Protection Training Certification.

 

This course covers the requirements for the establishment, maintenance, and monitoring of a respiratory protection program.

 

OSHA states that employers are required to provide respiratory protection training to workers who wear respirators on the job, at least every 12 months. This annual retraining will refresh your memory on the information and skills you need to use a respirator correctly. It gives you a chance to practice with a respirator and to ask questions and discuss worksite-specific respirator use with your instructor. A respirator can’t protect you if you don’t know how to use it properly.
