This course is based on the OSHA regulations as outlined in 29 CFR, Part 1910.134. Anyone who wears a respirator including some paper masks must be trained prior to wearing the respirator. The course helps to satisfy this requirement and will provide information to help you select the correct equipment, understand how to protect yourself, clean and maintain your equipment and what other requirements OSHA places on those who wear respirators. This course will take approximately two-hours and will work as either the initial training or annual refresher course that is required.

Like other courses, the course is written in a user-friendly manner with conversational language to allow you to understand the material. In addition, useful links are provided to outside sources or information including a direct link to the Remote Instructor™ who will work with you with your online course. You can contact the Remote Instructor™ to answer any questions that you have along the way.

The course was developed and is taught by Paul Gantt, President, Safety Compliance Management, and his team of instructors. When you sign up for the course, one of the team of Remote Instructors™ will be assigned to work with you on the program. You may read about your primary instructor's qualifications here.

The use of the Remote Instructor™ concept is required by OSHA for this program. They specifically mandate that a qualified Instructor be available to answer questions and with our format, you have that. Many online or video-based courses don't meet the regulations.
