With over 5 million respirator users in approximately 1.3 million US workplaces, respiratory protection is a perennial “Top 5” most cited OSHA violation. 2013 saw over 3,800 violations, taking fourth place and increasing 64% from 2012 (also the fourth-most cited standard). The number one reason for citation is lack of a written program. 29CFR1910.134 is the OSHA standard that covers respiratory protection. A written program is required in any workplace where respirators are necessary to protect the health of the employee or whenever respirators are required by the employer.
