Respirator Services

Our experts assist your company in complying with respirator regulations and in ensuring the safety and health of employees using respiratory protective equipment. Our respirator services include the following:

As outlined in the Occupational Health and Safety (OSHA) Respirator Standard, 29 CFR 1910.134, employers are required to provide detailed information to their healthcare providers for medical clearance evaluations. In turn, healthcare providers must return specific information to the employer as well as to each employee evaluated.

We can work with you to design a flexible approach to medical clearance evaluations that complies with government regulations, promotes appropriate use of respiratory protective equipment, and minimizes work loss and related expenses.
