Who is required to wear a respirator?
Anyone who is working in an area where occupational exposure levels exceed OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs) or ACGIH TLVs, and engineering or administrative exposure controls are not feasible to implement.

The Respiratory Protection Administrator or his designee must provide respirator training annually to personnel using respirators at the project, or earlier if the requirements or site specific operations change significantly.
What type of training must an employee receive prior to using a respirator?
Prior to respirator use, employees must be trained on:
- Why the respirator is necessary and how improper fit, usage, or maintenance can compromise the protective effect of the respirator

- How to inspect, put on and remove, use, and check the seals of the respirator;
- Procedures for maintenance and storage of the respirator;
- How to recognize medical signs and symptoms that may limit or prevent the effective use of respirators; and
- The general requirements of the OSHA respirator standard at 29 CFR 1910.134.
On a USACE Project, Who is the Respiratory Protection Administrator?
On most Government Construction Projects the Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO) is normally the Respiratory Protection Administrator. It’s for this reason, a certificate from a Respiratory Protection in Construction class is helpful for the SSHO to be approved for the project. In addition, if an SSHO will be on a project requiring respiratory protection, it’s helpful if his or her resume includes a few projects where he or she was the Respiratory Protection Administrator or designee (in addition to the certificate).
