We have been talking about going this route as we are in an area with very low incidence of TB.
It was my understanding that the training can be done one time and the annual medical clearance can be done through a computer based program therefore eliminating the need for one on one sessions. Can anyone
shed light on this?

Subject: [MCOH-EH] Transition from N-95 respirators to PAPRs
Has anyone converted to almost all PAPR use versus N-95s? Recent DNV surveyor made a suggestion that our organization may want to explore this to almost eliminate the need for fit testing.
