Respirator Medical Evaluation
Our respirator medical evaluation process is not designed to:

- Evaluate written respiratory protection programs that are developed and maintained by employers in accordance with OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.134(c).
- Determine if an individual employee is fit for duty or able to perform the work required. (In some situations, the PLHCP may ask for an evaluation of fitness for duty based on responses to the questionnaire; however the questionnaire and follow-up questions are not designed for this purpose.)
The employer is responsible for choosing the correct respirator for each job performed by your employees.
