Does anyone have an example of a hazard (risk) evaluation process for:

• What fraction of your healthcare workforce, and what roles in your healthcare workforce, should be included in your organization's respiratory protection program?

• How employees are selected for inclusion in your respiratory protection program, based on their anticipated work related risks?

This is a recurrent issue foe which we’re seeking examples and strategies from the field !

Thanks in advance,
