What you need

  • Slides on a screen, or printed copies for each person
  • Sign-in sheet
  • 10-question quiz and answer key, one quiz per person
  • Crew handouts and certificates
  • The written respiratory protection program for this site, and the name of the program administrator
  • Samples of the respirators used on site, with spare filters and cartridges
  • One worn or damaged respirator for the inspection exercise, plus cleaning wipes
  • The SDS for one product the crew uses that calls for a respirator, and the cartridge change schedule

Tips from the guide

  • Use tasks and products from this job for every example, and ask what respirator each one gets today.
  • Have every respirator wearer do a seal check in front of you, not just watch someone else do one.
  • When someone admits skipping a step, thank them and ask what made it hard. Do not blame.
