OSHA Revises Respiratory Protection Standards

OSHA Revises Respiratory Protection Standards: "New Assigned Protection Factors (APFs) for respiratory protection programs are being incorporated into the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) respiratory protection standard, the agency announced today.
This APF final rule completes the revision of the reserve sections of OSHA’s Respiratory Protection Standard as published in 1998. The Respiratory Protection Standard will now contain provisions necessary for a comprehensive respiratory protection program, including selection and use of respirators, training, medical evaluation, and fit testing."
