    The Occupational Safety and Health Administration requires the following elements in training of employees in respiratory protection:

    • Why the respirator is necessary (including when it must be worn),
    • Why proper fit, usage, and maintenance is crucial to its effectiveness,
    • What the limitations and capabilities of the respirator are,
    • Hands-on demonstration of how to inspect, put on, remove, use, and check the seal of the respirator,
    • What the procedures are for storage and maintenance,
    • How to recognize medical signs or symptoms that limit or prevent the safe, effective use of respirators,
    • The general requirements of the OSHA Respiratory Protection standard,
    • How to identify and react to respirator malfunctions, and
    • How to use the respirator in emergencies (e.g., chemical release) if appropriate.
