We use N95s and PAPR's. Everyone initially fills out the OSHA Questionnaire. If fit testing N95, fill it out annually. If PAPR, fill it out x 1 then a 3 question questionnaire annually,
1) Have you developed any medical problems or symptoms that may limit your ability to use a PAPR yes no
2) Have you been told by a healthcare professional, your supervisor, or the respiratory program administrator that you should be medically reevaluated? Yes No
3) Has there been a change in workplace conditions (e.g. physical work effort, protective clothing, temperature, duration of use) that has resulted in a substantial increase in the physical burden on you? Yes No
I have reviewed Respiratory Protection Program medical questionnaire dated________ (current year) and there are:
NO changes Yes Changes
Employee Name: Printed
Employee Signature: Date:
If all answers are NO, Just page 1 (current sheet) to be filled out and forwarded to IC.
Any user with a Yes answer will fill out the entire questionnaire and forward it to IC>

We do new hires when they come for Occupational Health visit. A vendor comes in to do the annuals once per year in July. Individuals who were not previously fitted and have have a job transfer during the year
To a position that requires the fit testing, schedule an appointment with Occupational Health to complete that requirement.

Amy,
We are very limited on the number of people that do fit testing, so we moved the fit testing to due by date of hire. This prevented the clumping of 300+ people all trying to get fit tested in the same month that everyone?s performance review was due. All new hires are tested at the time of the post offer pre-employment exam.

Subject: [MCOH-EH] N95 Fit Testing Process
Happy Friday,
We are moving to a new performance management system. Currently employees are evaluated in the month of their hire date. All of their annual requirements (fit testing, competencies, etc.) are to be completed prior to their review and if they are not completed the employee does not receive any increases they may be entitled to until it is completed. This has worked fairly well in ensuring people keep up on their requirements. The new system will have everyone being reviewed in the same time frame. We are looking at whether it would make sense to do the same with our fit testing. Designate a month and crank out all the fit tests and be done. Then you address new hires as they start. There are pros and cons to either method.
What are you all doing? What has worked well? Would you change? Have you recently switched to one system or the other? If so, why? Really any pearls relative to this experience would be most appreciated.
