Respiratory Protection
Mississippi State University has implemented a Respiratory Protection Program (RPP) to address potential exposure to airborne contaminants during work activities. When effective engineering or administration controls are not feasible or practical for eliminating or minimizing these exposures, or in emergency situations, personal respiratory protection equipment, such as a respirator, may be necessary to protect individuals' health. When used properly, respirators ensure adequate protection. The program aims to establish acceptable practices for selecting, using, and maintaining approved respirators and procedures for medical clearance and fit testing. This program applies to all Mississippi State University personnel required to wear a respirator for their duties or those who choose to wear one voluntarily.
