The Chicago & Cook County Chapter, NECA Safety Committee and the Northeastern Illinois Chapter, NECA Safety Committee are jointly sponsoring a complimentary morning Safety Forum as follows:
This training prepares participants to perform respirator fit testing protection according to OSHA Standards (Appendix A §1910.134-Fit Testing Procedures) and educates participants of the employer responsibilities under OSHA's respiratory protection fit testing requirements, as well as necessary record keeping requirements. This testing can be performed on a variety of respirators, including, but not limited to N95.
A “fit test” tests the seal between the respirator's facepiece and their face. Performing a fit test takes about fifteen to twenty minutes to complete and should be performed at least annually. After passing a fit test with a respirator, the user must use the exact same make, model, style, and size respirator while on the job.
Training topics include:
Format: Instruction will be provided in a format that combines classroom-based lecture, participant discussion and hands-on activities
Evaluation: Practical exam
Course Length: 4 hours
Complimentary Program:
The program fee is FREE for Chicago & Cook County Chapter, NECA members and Northeastern Illinois Chapter, NECA members.
To register, you need to use the Comp Code: NECA MEMBER (NECA MEMBER is all uppercase).
We do hope that you will be able to attend the Safety Forum!
