While a written program needs to be developed, there is no regulatory requirement to use this specific template in the development of your facility’s respiratory protection program (RPP).  \nTable of Contents  \nPlanning Your Respiratory Protection Program  \nPurpose 3  \nWhen is a Respiratory Protection Program Needed? 4  \nInstructions for Using this Toolkit 4  \n7 Elements to Creating Your Written Respiratory Protection Program  \nRespiratory Program Administrator 5  \nHazard Assessment 7  \nRespirator Selection 8  \nMedical Evaluation 10  \nFit Testing 11  \nTraining 13  \nProgram Maintenance 15  \nDefinitions 16  \nTraining and Resources 17  \nTemplate: Written Respiratory Protection Program 20  \nCustomizable Forms  \nRespirator Fit test Record 31  \nRespirator Training Record 32  \nOSHA Appendix D 33  \nPlanning Your Respiratory Protection Program  \nPurpose  \nThe goal of this Respiratory Protection Program Toolkit is to help long-term care facilities create and implement a Respiratory Protection Program ( RPP) . An RPP is a written plan that ensures health care workers have appropriate respiratory protection and training to limit the spread of respiratory illnesses such as COVID-19 .  \nFederal and Oregon Occupational Safety & Health agencies (OSHA) require facilities to have a written RPP when respirators are required to be used in the workplace. This toolkit provides guidance and customizable resources for long-term care facilities to establish and maintain their RPP for N95s. The term“N95” will be used throughout the document to represent National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health ( NIOSH) approved N95 Filtering Facepiece Respirators (FFR) .  \nUse of this plan and its associated templates does not guarantee compliance with Oregon OSHA standards.  \nOregon OSHA requirements for Respiratory Protection Programs can be found in  29 CFR 1910.134.  \nOregon OSHA guidance for Respiratory Protection Programs can be found at:  \n[https://osha.oregon.gov/pages/topics/respiratory-protection.aspx](https://osha.oregon.gov/pages/topics/respiratory-protection.aspx)  \nOregon OSHA Confidential and Free Consultative Services that can help with developing a RPP:  \n[https://osha.oregon.gov/consult/Pages/index.aspx](https://osha.oregon.gov/consult/Pages/index.aspx)  \n[https://osha.oregon.gov/Documents/COVID19-Consultation-flyer.pdf](https://osha.oregon.gov/Documents/COVID19-Consultation-flyer.pdf)  \nWhen is a Respiratory Protection Program Needed?  \nAppropriate respirators are required when caring for residents who may have symptoms or a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19, an airborne illness. In these situations, and whenever an employee is required to wear a respirator for protection, a written RPP is required by Oregon OSHA.  \nThere are different types of respirators that are acceptable for use such as N95s, powered air purifying respirators (PAPR), and elastomeric (rubber) respirators. This document is for facilities that require employees to use N95sto protect their staff.  \nIf another respirator type is chosen for your facility, please contact Oregon OSHA Consultation Services for assistance with your Respiratory Protection Program.  \nKN95, cloth, and medical masks are not considered respirators and are not included in the scope of this document.  \nPlease see the following link for pictures and descriptions of respirator options.
