Individuals at UNH are entitled to a working and learning environment free of unsafe and unhealthy conditions. This goal as it pertains to respiratory health is best attained through the development and implementation of engineering controls-modifying the source in order to reduce the amount of contaminants to which one is exposed. Often the implementation of engineering controls is insufficient or not feasible. In these situations, the use of respiratory protection is required.
什么是呼吸器?
Respirators act as a barrier preventing those hazardous airborne contaminants from entering the body through the respiratory system. A respirator will only be effective if it is used following strict guidelines and procedures to ensure their proper use, care, and maintenance. The purpose of the UNH 呼吸防护计划 is to provide this guidance and define responsibilities for the timely issuing, testing, maintenance, 以及呼吸器的使用.
