Respiratory Protection and Safety Respiratory Protection and Safety

OSHA estimates that tens of thousands of U.S. workers are exposed to harmful airborne contaminants on the job every year. If these risks are not controlled or eliminated, they can cause injury, illness, and even death. Employees need to fully understand respiratory hazards and the safe work practices that they can use to reduce their exposure. This training program is designed to present fundamental information on respiratory hazards, the safety standards that address them (OSHA Standard 1910.134), the control systems that can reduce them, and the safe practices that can be used to avoid them.
