Course Summary
Respirators are designed to offer protection when other controls are not feasible, in emergency situations, or to supplement other engineering or administrative controls. They are designed to reduce or minimize exposure or contact to chemical or biological hazards.
If respirators are used in the workplace, the employer is responsible for implementing a written respiratory protection program.
