MARC Offices, 600 Broadway, Suite 200, Kansas City, MO 64105

Join us as we train trainers across the region to build capacity for respiratory protection.

Respirator Fit Test Train-the-Trainer courses will provide the participant with the skills and knowledge to conduct qualitative respiratory protection fit testing for N95 respirators according to OSHA standards. A brief overview of the OSHA respiratory protection standard focusing on the fit-testing requirements will be provided. The training is primarily for those new to the fit-testing requirements, such as health care workers employed at nursing homes and long-term care facilities, but is not limited to only those facilities.

The objectives of the course include:

  • Understand the respirator fit-testing requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 – Respiratory Protection
  • Recognize the differences between masks and respirators and when fit testing is required
  • Understand the medical evaluation and recordkeeping requirements of fit testing
  • Learn how to conduct fit testing using an OSHA-accepted fit-test protocol for employees wearing N95 respirators

Please note: Participants should bring N95 respirator(s) that they will use during the fit testing.
