Medical Assessment Information

Some health problems may prevent you from using a respirator. If you, your supervisor, or your employer has any doubt or concern about your ability to use a respirator, you should be examined by a doctor knowledgeable in occupational health. Persons with concerns should complete their medical assessment prior to attending a fit testing session.

Medical conditions that may prevent you from using a respirator include, but are not limited to:

• • Claustrophobia
  • Problems with breathing during normal work activities
  • A history of breathing problems such as asthma, emphysema, bronchitis, or shortness of breath
  • High blood pressure or heart disease
  • Use of medications with side effects that might affect lung or heart function or cause drowsiness or lowered alertness
  • Diabetes
  • Seizure disorders
  • Facial skin problems
  • Physical factors that make it hard to put on or adjust the respirator respirator, such as arthritic or missing fingers or a limited range of motion in the upper body
  • Past problems with respirator use

The above conditions do not always preclude workers from respirator use, but they may be cause for concern. For further details please contact your supervisor, program lead, or OH&S representative at work or school. 

Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
