Respirator Use for Employees

1. If you are required to wear a respirator mask, or would like to voluntarily request the use of a respirator mask, please fill out the Respirator Request Form. After completing the form, send a copy to CHO@coastal.edu.

Once the request has been confirmed, an Access Code to the online OSHA MedCert Medical Evaluation will be provided to you. The OSHA MedCert Medical Evaluation must be completed to determine if you are qualified to wear a respirator.

2. To take the OSHA MedCert Medical Evaluation go to: www.oshamedcert.com/honeywell.

  • At the bottom of the page click Begin Evaluation.
  • Please read the content and click on I Understand.
  • Then click Continue and enter your Access Code in the space provided to begin the questionnaire.

3. Upon successful completion of the OSHA MedCert Medical Evaluation, employees are congratulated and given an opportunity to print out a certificate. After approval, please contact Environmental Health and Safety to schedule a time to come to the Environmental Health and Safety Office to be fitted for a respirator mask. The employee must complete the required respirator training, EHS 2005 PPE-Respiratory Training, before the fit test can be completed. The training will provide an overview on the Respiratory Protection Program, respiratory hazards, requirements for respirator use, as well as respirator storage and maintenance.
