The critical worker-safety issue of appropriate respiratory protection will be the focus of a free upcoming webinar presented by JPCL and SSPC.
The Journal of Protective Coatings & Linings and the Society for Protective Coatings will present "Developing an OSHA-Compliant Respiratory Protection Program" from 11 a.m. to noon EDT Wednesday (Feb. 23).
The program is part of the JPCL/SSPC Webinar Education Series, which provides continuing education for SSPC recertifications and technology updates on important topics.
Other recent topics in the series have included disposing of waste water in UHP operations, writing good bridge specifications, and advances in polyurethane and polyurea technology.
OSHA Protection Standards
The OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard requires that employers whose employees use respiratory protection implement a respiratory protection program. Full compliance means that employers must be able to determine when the use of respiratory protection is appropriate to control worker exposure to airborne hazards—and, when it is, to use it in accordance with a written program that addresses the program elements of the standard.
Webinar presenter Stan Liang, of KTA-Tator Inc., will address a variety of approaches to controlling worker exposure to respiratory hazards, such as ventilation or other engineering controls, job rotation or other administrative controls, and respiratory protection. The webinar will include a discussion of when OSHA permits the use of respiratory protection. Participants may register here free.
