IRWIN'S Safety is pleased to offer a BCCSA accredited Respiratory Protection and Fit Tester Course. This course outlines the suggested elements for Respiratory Protection Programs and strategies to implement a successful program.
Workers will learn how to properly select, use, and care for respirators to help ensure their safety against biological, chemical, or infectious agents.
This material is also designed for those who are required to wear - or enforce the use of - respiratory protection in the workplace. This may include workers, supervisors, Respiratory Protection Program Administrators, employers, etc.
Learning Objectives & Specific Outcomes:
While it is always preferred that workplace hazards are eliminated or minimized, some instances may arise were workers must also rely on personal protective equipment (like a respirator) to help ensure their health and safety. However, used improperly, serious illness or death can result.
Respiratory Protection Programs apply to numerous workplace industries, such as police services, health care, manufacturing and construction.
In fact, any worker who may be exposed to a hazardous airborne contaminant that measures above an allowable occupational exposure limit is required to wear respiratory protection.
Topics Include:
Depending on the workplace or tasks to be conducted, workers may be exposed to potentially hazardous situations that involve airborne contaminants, such as dusts, fumes, mists, gases, vapours, aerosols, airborne pathogens, or oxygen deficiency.
