Unless you practice mindfulness, you probably don’t often think about your breathing. It’s just something we all do. In and out… In and out… Every breath supplies our body with the oxygen needed to keep us alive, without us even thinking about it. Pretty neat, huh? Until something happens that means not enough oxygen gets in…

Without the right equipment, working in environments with insufficient oxygen can be deadly. So, OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, have detailed requirements that companies must follow to be compliant. But what are the regulations, and how can you ensure the safety of employees, whatever the oxygen levels?

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

• Define the circumstances in which respiratory protection for employees is necessary
• Identify the most appropriate type of respirator for a job
• Use best-practice advice to help design a respiratory protection program

Why take this course?

Making sure your employees can breathe freely, whatever job they’re undertaking, is vital for protecting them from serious harm.
