Course overview
Policies, programs, and procedures exist in the workplace to provide employees with a safe and healthful working environment. Companies ensure worker safety by using facilities and equipment with feasible safeguards built into their designs to protect workers' respiratory health. When effective engineering controls are not available or being initiated, personal respiratory protection must be used to protect personnel. The Respiratory Protective Program training course identifies respiratory hazards. It explains how to use personal respiratory equipment to prevent injury or illness from poor breathing conditions. Respiratory Protection Program is part of the Personal Protective Equipment training series.
