There are 8 exercises required in the
OSHA standard.  The bending over
exercise must be done in the standing
position.  The exercises must be done
for the time indicated in the standard.

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
