Benefits
Increased Respiratory Protection Safety
A successful respiratory protection program emphasizes employee safety by requiring medical evaluations before respirator use, conducting onsite fit testing, and providing annual training to ensure proper respirator usage for enhanced protection.
Ensure OSHA Compliance
3M outlines the essential components of the federal standard and what you need to do to ensure compliance, as researching this information independently can be overwhelming. Their step-by-step guide is designed to help you achieve your respiratory safety goals and maintain compliance.
Reduced Costs
Proper respiratory training can help employers reduce costs by minimizing the risk of respiratory illnesses and injuries due to improperly fitted respirators or the use of incorrect types of respirators for specific workplace exposures. By keeping employees safe and healthy, training ultimately decreases the need for medical treatment and lowers workers' compensation claims.
