Understand what has to happen before you put on a respirator at work.
Start Course Now →Respiratory protection only works when the groundwork is done first: medical clearance, a proper fit test, and clear records. This beginner-level course walks you through those steps so you know your responsibilities and the programme coordination behind them. It is written for workers, new supervisors, and anyone who supports staff being assigned tasks that require a respirator.
Walk out able to actually help.
