What Is the OSHA Respirator Medical Evaluation?

Before an employee wears a respirator, OSHA requires a medical evaluation.

Why It’s Required

• OSHA standard: workers must be medically cleared before respirator use.

• Protects both worker safety (health risks) and the company (avoiding OSHA violations/fines).

Who Reviews the Evaluation

• Must be reviewed by a licensed healthcare provider (LHP).

• Managers, HR, or supervisors cannot review or approve.

• Ensures evaluations are confidential and medically accurate.

What’s Included

• A secure health questionnaire completed by the employee.

• Questions cover medical history, breathing, and physical ability to wear a respirator.

• Reviewed quickly (no in-person appointment needed).

• Before initial fit testing.

• Before starting any job requiring respirator use.

• Repeat only if health or job conditions change.
