Do not buy a respirator!
Call the EHS Occupational Safety Team (517-355-0153) to discuss the hazards to be encountered, and determine if an assessment needs to be performed.
Unpaid students using the respirator for coursework do not need to complete this step - go to step 3.
Employees: Check your status with MSU Occupational Health at https://herd.msu.edu. Under Health Risks, verify that you have an active Respirator requirement and that the Compliance column shows "Compliant."
If you are not compliant, you will be required to complete a respirator questionnaire. See: http://occhealth.msu.edu/resources/respirator-clearance.
Your fit-test cannot be scheduled until you are cleared by Occupational Health.
Medical clearance must be renewed periodically (interval determined by MSU Occupational Health). Coming due and expired notifications are sent by MSU Occupational Health.
