Seminar Overview:

OSHA mandates that companies who use respirators have a written respiratory protection program. This program MUST BE designated by a competent respiratory protection program administrator who is versed in the requirements and methods of program implementation.

This session is intended to help employers meet this requirement for individuals who are involved in administrating a respiratory protection program.
