Course Information
This highly interactive, hands-on workshop covers 3 modules:
- Respirator Identification: an explanation of respirators, how to use them and for what types of situations.
- Written Respirator program: a brief explanation for how to run a written respirator plan for a business.
- Fit test: participants will be taught to conduct a respirator fit-test and are guided through an exercise to decontaminate the equipment.
We are offering two concurrent sessions, each limited to 8 to 12 participants. Our bilingual trainers can lead the workshop in Spanish or English. Depending on local demand, the sessions might be both in Spanish, English or one in each language. Please indicate the language preference to the sponsor at the time of registration.
Participants
This workshop targets farm owners, respirator program managers, handlers, and anyone else in the agriculture industry.
Requirements
1) Participants must be clean-shaven.
