Respiratory Protection Services
Employees who are required to wear a respirator for their job are required by law to have a medical evaluation and fit test (in-most cases) prior to using the respirator. Our comprehensive respiratory protection services are designed to help businesses throughout all of Idaho and neighboring states comply with OSHA regulations, prevent occupational illnesses, and protect their most valuable asset: their workforce. From initial assessments to ongoing compliance, we provide the expertise and services you need to maintain your respiratory protection program. If you are unsure if your employees need medical evaluations or respirators to work safely, see our Safety and Industrial Hygiene page to learn how we can assist you in making that determination.
Our Comprehensive Respiratory Protection Offerings
We offer a full spectrum of services to establish and maintain an effective respiratory protection program, minimizing the risk of occupational exposures and ensuring regulatory adherence. Services are available individually or as a package.
Key Respiratory Protection Services:
Online Respirator Medical Questionnaire: We use an online questionnaire to make medical clearance as painless as possible. Employees can complete the questionnaire on a mobile device or computer, and results are delivered securely and directly to our physician or other licensed healthcare professional (PLHCP) for review, maintaining confidentiality required by OSHA (29 CFR 1910.134). Medical clearance is then documented and returned to you through our Employer Portal. Follow-up examinations are available when necessary.
Respirator Fit Testing: A respirator is only effective if it forms a tight seal to the wearer's face. Our fit testing services verify that each employee is fitted with the correct size and model of respirator to provide maximum protection against hazardous particulates, gases, or vapors. We conduct qualitative fit testing compliant with OSHA standards. This can be conducted on-site at your facility, minimizing disruption to your operations and providing unparalleled convenience across all of Idaho and neighboring states. Many employers also choose to have their employees visit our clinic for this service.
Respirator Use Training: Proper use, maintenance, and care of respirators are essential for their effectiveness. We can respirator use training to educate employees on why respirators are necessary, how to properly don and doff them, how to perform user seal checks, and how to maintain and store their respirators. This training empowers your workforce to use their protective equipment correctly, enhancing their safety and your compliance.
Respirator Needs Evaluation: If you are unsure if your employees need medical evaluations or respirators to work safely, or want to make sure they are using the correct respiratory protection, we can evaluate your workplace for respiratory hazards, including sampling for airborne contaminants if necessary.
Respiratory Protection Programs: We offer safety consulting services that can include creation or management of your respiratory protection program. This includes assessing workplace risks, creating written programs, and ensuring ongoing compliance with OSHA standards.
