Respiratory Protection Standard

The Respiratory Protection Standard is a set of guidelines aimed at ensuring the safety of individuals who work in environments with harmful airborne contaminants, such as dust, fumes, or chemicals. It requires employers to assess conditions, provide suitable respirators, and train workers on proper use and maintenance. The goal is to prevent respiratory illnesses by protecting the lungs and overall health of employees. Compliance with this standard is essential for creating a safe workplace and minimizing the risk of exposure to dangerous substances.
