The OSHA Respirator Medical Evaluation Questionnaire is designed to identify general medical conditions that could place a worker at risk of serious medical consequences, if a respirator is used. The medical questionnaire must be administered in a manner that ensures that you understand its content.
A respirator medical evaluation is a health assessment that determines if an employee is medically fit to wear a respirator on the job. Also known as a respirator medical clearance, this evaluation complies with respiratory protection standards established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

A written respiratory protection program is a core component of ensuring safety in your workplace and is required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
Regulations in the U.S. require employers to fit-test users at least annually, even if the respirator type doesn't change.Users should also engage in a fit test every time a new model, manufacturer type/brand, or size is worn, and if the shape of their face changes due to weight fluctuations or other causes.
A respirator is a protective face piece, hood or helmet that is designed to protect the wearer against a variety of harmful airborne agents.
OSHA's respirator standard, 29 CFR 1910.134, requires the use of respirators to protect employees from breathing contaminated and/or oxygen-deficient air when effective engineering controls are not feasible, or while they are being instituted. Several other OSHA regulations also require the use of respirators.
No, respirators shall be selected on the basis of hazards to which the worker is exposed (i.e. particulates, vapors, oxygen-deficiency, or combination). Also, OSHA requires the use of certified respirators.
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
Also known as filtering facepieces, these tight-fitting respirators must be fit-tested before mandatory use at a job site.
If the employer provides respirators for voluntary use but they aren’t required, they don’t need to be fit-tested – but we still recommend it.
