Both OSHA and NIOSH have recently updated their Respiratory Protection Training Requirements. This revised and improved program includes updates such as: New fit testing protocols and new cleaning/disinfecting procedures. It shows examples of the new "N" class respirators - and other respirators now being used in a variety of settings.
The problem with many respiratory hazards is that they're invisible. Many respiratory problems only become evident long after the initial exposure - but by then it's often too late -because disabilities have become permanent.
