Hello MCOH,

 

I’d like to introduce you to Dr. Janet Kim, who’s now running Santa Clary County hospital’s OHS. She has a question for you experts:

 

For our Facilities employees, we have offered industrial mask fit testing and pulmonary function testing.  However, our PFT machine broke down. Does your clinic offer industrial fit testing and pulmonary function testing? If so, who provides that testing and how did they get trained?

 

Thanks for your help,

Janet

Thanks for your reply. Yes if you could forward my question to other OH physicians, I would greatly appreciate it!

Hi Janet,

 

We do not have either – at VA we got the Safety Service to take over the N95 fit testing and we just do the medical clearance. At Stanford they do both the medical and fit testing – also PAPRs etc. But no PFTs are required.

 

I’m here at a conference with other OH MDs, want me to forward this to them for you?

 

Wendy

Hi Wendy,

 

Hope you’ve been well. For our Facilities employees, we have offered industrial mask fit testing and pulmonary function testing.  However, our PFT machine broke down. Does your clinic offer industrial fit testing and pulmonary function testing? If so, who provides that testing and how did they get trained?

 

Thanks for your help,

Janet
