Respirator Fit Testing Starts with Medical Clearance—Here's Why
Many employers understand the necessity of respirator fit testing, yet fewer recognize that OSHA mandates a medical evaluation before an employee can be fit tested or required to wear a respirator. This crucial first step determines whether an employee can safely perform work while utilizing respiratory protection.
