1910.134(e)(6) Medical Determination
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
In determining the employee's ability to use a respirator, the employer shall:
Obtain a written recommendation regarding the employee's ability to use the respirator from the PLHCP. The recommendation shall provide only the following information:
Any limitations on respirator use related to the medical condition of the employee, or relating to the workplace conditions in which the respirator will be used, including whether or not the employee is medically able to use the respirator;
The need, if any, for follow-up medical evaluations; and
A statement that the PLHCP has provided the employee with a copy of the PLHCP's written recommendation.
If the respirator is a negative pressure respirator and the PLHCP finds a medical condition that may place the employee's health at increased risk if the respirator is used, the employer shall provide a PAPR if the PLHCP's medical evaluation finds that the employee can use such a respirator; if a subsequent medical evaluation finds that the employee is medically able to use a negative pressure respirator, then the employer is no longer required to provide a PAPR.
