Safety Wars85 NIOSH RespiratorsFrom Fallout Shelter Studio's in Rockland County, NY this is Safety Wars.
On today's episode we discuss the current craze over N-95 respirator's and the employers requirements.
Bottom line: NIOSH certified respirators (dust masks/n-95's) have specific requirements under OSHA, if you are using other than a NIOSH Certified respirator or 'face covering" you probably need to do training on that also.
Call us at 845-694-4170 or jim@safetywars.com to schedule your training today.
