Respiratory Protection Program
THIS MANUAL IS CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW
The purpose
of the Respiratory Protection Program is to ensure that all employees have adequate
respiratory protection in the workplaces on the Oklahoma State University campus where
engineering controls or work practices that are inadequate or not feasible to reduce the
exposure to airborne contaminates.
In all cases,
engineering controls must be considered and implemented to the extent that they are
feasible.
This Program
shall cover all Oklahoma State University employees on the Stillwater campus who wear
respiratory protection during work activities and those who anticipate wearing respiratory
equipment during an emergency incident. This Respiratory Protection Program
specifically excludes those employees whose primary job function is to abate or work with
asbestos. A separate Asbestos Respiratory Protection Program has been developed to
specifically address asbestos and asbestos employees.
Oklahoma State University shall provide respirators, training, fit testing, and medical evaluations at no cost to the employee.
