COURSE TITLE
Respiratory Protection for Aerosol Transmissible Diseases
2009 Summer Institute
July 29, 2009, Oakland, CA
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The California Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board voted 6-0, May 21, 2009 to adopt a new Aerosol Transmissible Diseases (ATD) regulation (Section 5199) that requires employers to protect healthcare workers and others in high-risk pathogen job assignments. A very important part of this standard is the use of respirators to protect workers in this very wide range of occupations and job assignments.
This one-day class will cover the following topics related to the new regulation:
-
Respirator Program Requirements (CAL OSHA 5144 Respiratory Protection)
-
New ATD Respiratory Protection Requirements (CAL OSHA 5199)
-
National & International Respirator Standards Update
-
New Developments in NIOSH Certified Equipment
-
National Pandemic Stockpile
-
Fit Testing-Why It Is So Important?
-
A Risk Analysis Scheme for Respirator Selection
-
Respirator Filter Performance
-
Commercially Available Respirators
-
Description of A Major Healthcare Respirator Program
-
Commercial Sources of Respirator Program help
