Subject: [MCOH-EH] respirator fit testing procedure

 

What is your practice for respirator fit testing exercises – do you have the employee sitting or standing?  The OSHA standard states that the first 5 postures need to be completed in a standing position but the last (bending over) does not clarify the posture.

 

Thanks
