Respiratory Protection Programs & Hazard Assessments
A Respiratory Protection Program (RPP) outlines responsibilities and minimum requirements for respiratory protection to maintain the health and safety of your people, preventing occupational illness and long-term health issues caused by exposure to airborne contaminants or hazards.
At Mercer Safety, we develop customized Respiratory Protection Programs that meet CSA Standard Z94.4 and applicable Occupational Health and Safety Regulations.
Our programs help employers identify, assess, and control respiratory hazards when engineering or administrative controls cannot fully eliminate exposure.
Our consultants work closely with your team to:
Conduct Respiratory Hazard Assessments to identify airborne contaminants, oxygen-deficient or IDLH atmospheres and evaluate exposure levels against ACGIH Threshold Limit Values (TLVs).
Develop a comprehensive written RPP outlining clear roles and responsibilities for employers, supervisors, workers and program administrators.
Assist with the selection of appropriate respirators based on hazard type, exposure level and work conditions.
Provide fit testing, training and medical screening coordination for all respirator users.
Establish procedures for inspection, maintenance, recordkeeping and annual program review to maintain compliance and ensure worker protection.
Our programs integrate seamlessly with your existing Occupational Health and Safety Management System, supporting a proactive approach to respiratory hazard control and long-term worker health.
