[MCOH-EH] OSHA video and Medical Evaluation Questionnaire

[Bedeaux, Ursula]

We require that all employees that wear N95 or other respirators to fill out the Medical Evaluation for Respirator Use (MERU) prior to becoming FIT Tested. I believe this is a requirement of OSHA

As for the CAPR we do not require employees to wear a surgical mask while donning the CAPR

When you staff wear the CAPRS. Do you require them to wear a surgical mask under the CAPR to protect the patient?
We do use the CAPR education video from MAXAIR, but no other video

We do not have a video, but do a training. Now we have upped the ante and have all of our staff learn to use the CAPR and they are required to do education and demonstrate competency with the CAPR, however only a certain amount of our staff was fit tested for the N95’s since we have the CAPR’s and our policy says to choose them first.  With the Coronavirus Vaccines being distributed our team that does fit testing does not have time to fit test the others yet, so we are continuing to use CAPR’s here instead of the N95’s until we can round up a large fit testing clinic again

 For those in a hospital or clinic setting, do you require that ALL of your new hires watch a OSHA respirator/TB video?  I'm trying to figure out if it is a requirement.  Also, do you have your employees complete an OSHA Respirator Medical Evaluation Questionnaire?  If yes, I was wondering if this is something you have ALL employees fill out, or just those that are likely to wear a respirator.
