OSHA once AGAIN states their position on respirators and facial hair!
For those of us that are parents, we know the game of "keeping asking mom and dad in the hopes they'll change their minds" and sometimes I think our profession acts like teenagers and OSHA has to play the role of "mom and dad". Case in point, this OSHA LOI which was posted @ OSHA's LOI page on the use of respirators and facial hair... Question: If an employee with a neatly trimmed goatee is wearing a respirator and it does not interfere with the seal of the facepiece or valve function and has passed a fit test, does this meet the intent of the OSHA’s Respiratory Protection standard? |
