Description/purpose:
This course provides employees with the training necessary to adequately protect them against hazardous airborne substances. It covers information and training on recognizing respiratory hazards, use and care of appropriate respiratory protection equipment, as well as the need to comply with state and federal regulations, as well as with University Safety program. It includes respirator fit-testing on negative pressure cartridge type respirators. If respirator protection is for chemical vapors or hazardous fumes, prior attendance at NMSU Hazard Communication Class is required.
Contents:
Who should attend:
All University employees, including full-time, part-time, and work study, who wear respirators on a mandatory basis and who are recommended for the Medical Surveillance Program. Pre-Qualification by Employee Health Service and successful completion of training and fit-test are prerequisite for wearing respirator at NMSU.
Training frequency:
Medical
Please note that medical pre-qualification is required by NMSU before you can wear a respirator or attend this training (the fit testing portion). You may obtain the forms needed for the medical evaluation by downloading and printing one of the following files
The potential respirator user should complete and submit the completed medical evaluation form to Employee Health Services. The medical qualification form must be submitted at least two weeks in advance of the class and it must be approved by the medical examiner prior to the fit testing. As needed the doctors at the NMSU Employee Health Service may require additional information and/or a physical examination before you can attend this training or wear a respirator at NMSU (see evaluation for respirator use).
Respirators & Shaving
New respirator users can choose and be fit tested with a respirator from a selection of models and sizes at the EH&S office. Once you have been fit tested with a specific respirator, your department will obtain that model and size for your respirator work. Alternately a new user can bring a respirator of their selection to the class. The fit test will be used to determine if it is the right size and shape for your use. Returning users should bring their personal respirator to the class for the fit testing.
All respirator users are reminded that in order to maintain a good seal with the respirator, they must be clean-shaven for the fit test and all respirator use.
Length of course:
Initial respirator safety lecture is about 1.5 hours and fit test take about 1/2 hour each. Class can take several hours, depending on audience size, questions, and sucessful fit test (face to respirator compatibility).
This class is provided by EH&S and is on the monthly schedule (Schedule) (To Register)
