10 Chapter 1
Respirator training is critical for any respiratory
protection program. All employees who wear
respirators must be taught how and why they are
used. This training should be done prior to the fit
test, not during the fit test. Consult the regulations
or standards that pertain to your industry for
information on training requirements.
