How to fill out opp respiratory protection program:

1. Identify the hazards: Begin by assessing the respiratory hazards present in the workplace, such as chemicals, dust, or gases. Understand the potential health risks associated with these hazards.
2. Determine respirator types: Based on the identified hazards, determine what types of respirators are required. This could include filtering facepieces, half-face or full-face masks, or even powered air-purifying respirators (PAPRs).
3. Conduct medical evaluations: Before employees can use respirators, they must undergo medical evaluations to ensure they are fit to wear them. Provide employees with the necessary forms and information to schedule these evaluations.
4. Select and provide appropriate respirators: Choose respirators that are appropriate for the identified hazards and provide a sufficient level of protection. Consider comfort, fit, and compatibility with other personal protective equipment (PPE).
5. Train employees: Educate employees on the proper use, storage, and maintenance of respirators. Train them on fitting techniques, seal checks, and how to respond in case of emergency. Provide written materials and quizzes to ensure comprehension.
6. Establish a written program: Develop a written respiratory protection program that outlines the procedures and requirements for respirator use in your workplace. Include policies, training records, medical evaluations, and maintenance schedules.
7. Conduct fit testing: Ensure that respirators fit each employee properly by conducting fit testing. Fit testing should be done annually, when an employee changes their respirator model, or if there are significant changes in their physical characteristics.
8. Monitor respirator use: Regularly inspect respirators for damage, cleanliness, and proper functioning. Keep records of inspections, cleaning schedules, and repairs. Encourage employees to report any concerns or issues with their respirators.

3. Employees with respiratory conditions: Workers with pre-existing respiratory conditions, such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), may require respiratory protection to prevent exacerbation of their condition.
