Organizations are required to adhere to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) Respiratory Protection Standard (29 CFR 1910.134) if they have workers that wear a respirator on the job. They must also have an employee "suitably trained" to administer their program. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and its National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory have worked to champion the occupational health nurse in this role by collaborating with the American Association of Occupational Health Nurses to develop free, online respiratory protection training and resources (RPP Webkit). This article describes the development, content, and success of this training. To date, 724 participants have completed the training, 32.6% of whom lead their organization's respiratory protection program, 15.3% who indicated they will lead a program in the near future, and 52% who did not lead a program, but indicated that the training was relevant to their work. The majority "strongly agreed" the training was applicable to their work and it enhanced their professional expertise.
如果组织中有员工在工作时佩戴呼吸器，则必须遵守职业安全与健康管理局（OSHA）的呼吸防护标准（29 CFR 1910.134）。他们还必须有一名经过“适当培训”的员工来管理其计划。美国国家职业安全与健康研究所及其国家个人防护技术实验室通过与美国职业健康护士协会合作，致力于支持职业健康护士发挥这一作用，以开发免费的在线呼吸防护培训和资源（RPP网络工具包）。本文介绍了该培训的开发、内容和成效。截至目前，已有724名参与者完成了培训，其中32.6%的人负责组织的呼吸防护计划，15.3%的人表示他们将在不久的将来负责一个计划，52%的人不负责计划，但表示该培训与他们的工作相关。大多数人“强烈同意”该培训适用于他们的工作，并提高了他们的专业技能。
