This template is designed for use by hospital personnel who have been suitably trained and charged with the responsibility of developing and implementing a respiratory protection program that addresses aerosol transmissible diseases/pathogens and airborne hazardous materials in hospital work environments. It is designed to be used in conjunction with “Implementing Respiratory Protection Programs in Hospitals: A Guide for Program Administrators,” which provides detailed instructions and tips for program development specifically in hospitals. Use of this template does not guarantee compliance with Cal/OSHA standards, but is meant to help hospitals fulfill the requirement for a written RPP as one component of a comprehensive program to protect their employees. It is important that you reference Title 8 CCR, Sections 5144 (Respiratory Protection Standard) and 5199 (ATD Standard), for details on specific Cal/OSHA requirements.
