Respiratory protection

Respiratory hazards can include airborne contaminants such as dusts, mists, fumes, gases, or oxygen-deficient atmospheres. The University's Respirator Protection Program aims to protect the health and safety of University workers, students and visitors from atmospheric contaminants.

See the Respiratory Protection Program for more information. 

Training

All employees required to wear a respirator and supervisors that require their employees to wear a respirator, must undergo training to be considered a competent respirator user.

Contact the Safety Office for more information about training.
