Respiratory Protection Safety Program

Chapter Section

Purpose

It is the intention of Your Company Name to provide a respirator protection program that meets or exceeds all federal stan­dards. Your Company Name will attempt to engineer potential harmful vapors and oxygen deficient atmosphere exposure hazards out of the work environ­ment.  If engineering control measures are not feasible or during emergency situations with high exposure then respirators shall be provided which are applicable and suitable for purpose intended.

Scope

This program applies to all Your Company Name projects and operations.

Respiratory Program Administrator

Overall responsibility for the respiratory protection program is assigned to the Your Company Name Safety Manager in order to ensure that specific requirements are followed.

The Administrator must be knowledgeable of the complexity of the program, able to conduct evaluations and have the proper training.

This assignment is made, however, with the understanding that individual supervisors will have to implement and enforce major portions of the program. It is under­stood that the Program Administrator will report performance problems to the appropriate manager for resolution. The person who will have responsibility for administering all the aspects of this program will be the Project Manager or their designee.
