In short

If people at your site wear respirators, you need a written program behind them, plus the fit test records, the change schedule and the inspection logs. This kit is a blank program and record set in Word for industrial sites, written against 29 CFR 1910.134. Your site puts its own name on it, sets its own values, and has its program administrator review it before it's issued.

FAQ

Does a respiratory protection program have to be written?

Yes, when respirators are required. 1910.134(c) says the employer develops and implements a written respiratory protection program with worksite-specific procedures, run by a suitably trained program administrator. The kit gives you the structure. Your site writes in its own hazards, respirators and people.

Does the kit include the OSHA medical evaluation questionnaire?

No, on purpose. The employee sends the Appendix C questionnaire to the PLHCP (the physician or other licensed health care professional). Under 1910.134(e)(1), the medical evaluation comes before the fit test or required use. The site keeps only the PLHCP's written recommendation, and form IRP-2 logs those. The kit never holds anyone's medical answers.

Is there a respirator fit test form?

Yes, IRP-3. The rule says tight-fitting facepiece users are fit tested before initial use, whenever a different facepiece is used, and at least annually after that (1910.134(f)(2)). Your site picks its fit test methods and who runs them.

What about cartridge change schedules?

IRP-4 is the change schedule form. The data behind it has to come from your site's own monitoring, the manufacturer and qualified people. A template can't supply it.

What do voluntary users get?

The Appendix D handout, reproduced as the rule gives it, plus a receipt line logged on IRP-6 sheet 2.

Get the kit

Blank template only. It isn't a medical record system, an industrial hygiene study, legal advice or approval by any regulator. Your site adapts it, checks it against the rules that apply, and has its program administrator review it before use.
