How to Meet OSHA Requirements for Using a Respirator?

If your job requires you to wear a tight-fitting respirator, OSHA has two non-negotiable steps before you can use it:

Whether you’re an employee or an independent contractor, here’s what you need to know:

1. Medical Clearance
OSHA requires a confidential health screening to confirm you’re medically able to wear a respirator.

  • Employers must provide this evaluation for their workers.

  • Contractors or self-employed individuals can get cleared on their own.

2. Fit Testing
Fit testing makes sure your respirator creates a proper seal—no leaks, no guesswork.
Without this step, your respirator may not protect you as intended.
