[MCOH-EH] Facial hair and respirators

[McKenna, Patrick]

Just taking an informal survey of the group to inquire about what policies are out there regarding facial hair for staff who might require using a respirator.

Does your institution require that staff members be clean shaven if they might need to use a respirator?
What is the policy around allowing the use of an N95 alternative, such as a PAPR?

Thanks!
