Respirators must be used in workplaces in which employees are exposed to hazardous airborne contaminants. When respiratory protection is required employers must have a respirator protection program as specified in OSHA’s Respiratory Protection standard (29 CFR 1910.134). https://www.osha.gov/respiratory-protection/standards, Before wearing a respirator, workers must first be medically evaluated using the mandatory medical questionnaire or an equivalent method. Minnesota Occupational Health (MOH) can help with ensure your employees are safe to wear a respirator should it be via questionnaire or medical exam.
To allow for a convenient experience, when you are working with MOH, we provide multiple questionnaire options. Our team can provide you a paper form of a respirator questionnaire or this can also be completed on our web page here. If an employee doesn’t pass based upon the questionnaire you will be notified that further testing may be required, such as a Spirometry or Pulmonary Function Test (PFT).
