Additional Training

This course can meet most of the needs for classroom training as part of a respiratory training program, however you must be trained on the specific respirators that will be used on the job. You must also be trained by your employer on the hazards, equipment, operational and administrative controls, safe work practices and emergency plans specific to your role and workplace.
In ALL situations, employers are required to ensure their employees are adequately trained to do their job.
