While conducting 70,000+ Respirator Fit Tests during the pandemic, Mobile Health fit testers hear a single question more often than any other: Does my N95 respirator protect me from COVID-19?
According to OSHA’s recent COVID-19 Respiratory Protection FAQ, the answer is YES, providing the N95 respirator is used correctly. OSHA ‘correct use’ requires N95s be part of an employer’s OSHA-compliant written Respiratory Protection Program – a combination of medical evaluations, training, and fit testing.
When employers meet these requirements, workers’ N95 respirators and other NIOSH-approved respirators effectively protect them from the virus causing COVID-19.
Mobile Health is your answer to COVID-19 protection and OSHA Respiratory Protection Program compliance. We combine pre-test worker medical evaluations with expert Respirator Fit Testing.
Choose Mobile Health for OSHA Compliance
Prior to fit testing, a Mobile Health physician reviews the employee’s online medical evaluation. This ensures that they are medically able to wear an N95 respirator. Next, our expert fit testers perform the 15-minute test on medically cleared workers.
