The Importance of Respirator-Fit Testing and Audiometric Exams
Respirator-fit testing is essential for workers who use respiratory protection in their job. Without it, respirators are far les effective – which is one of the reasons annual fit testing is an OSHA requirement.
A properly fitted and tested respirator ensures that your employees are protected against respiratory hazards.
On the other hand, audiometric exams are crucial for workers exposed to high levels of noise, as it helps to prevent noise-induced hearing loss.
By conducting regular testing of your employees, you ensure their health and safety, while also complying with OSHA’s regulations.
