Safety Tip of the Week: The Importance of Respirator Fit Testing

For employees working in environments with airborne contaminants, a properly fitted respirator can mean the difference between protection and exposure. That’s why annual respirator fit testing is essential!

🔹 Why is it important?
A poorly fitted respirator won’t provide the necessary seal, allowing harmful particles to enter. Proper fit testing ensures employees receive the protection they need.

🔹 When should fit testing be done?
✔ Before first use of a respirator
✔ Annually to confirm continued effectiveness
✔ Whenever there are changes (weight loss/gain, facial surgery, etc.)

🔹 Who needs it?
Workers in healthcare, construction, manufacturing, and any industry where respiratory hazards exist.

A properly fitted respirator isn’t just a requirement—it’s a safeguard for employee health! If your team needs fit testing, HealthWorks-WNY is here to help!

Can Your Supervisors Spot the Signs of Impairment?

When it comes to maintaining a safe workplace — especially in safety-sensitive environments — supervisors are your first line of defense. That’s why training them to recognize the signs and symptoms of drug and alcohol use is not just smart… it’s required for many employers.

🔍 Signs of possible impairment may include:
- Slurred speech or confusion
- Erratic behavior or mood swings
- Unsteady movement
- Odor of alcohol or other substances
- Decline in performance or attendance
- For DOT-regulated employers, Reasonable Suspicion Supervisor Training is mandatory — and must cover both drug and alcohol indicators.

Properly trained supervisors can:
✔️ Intervene appropriately
✔️ Document concerns accurately
✔️ Refer employees for testing when justified
✔️ Help protect the safety of your entire team

HealthWorks-WNY offers comprehensive training that meets DOT standards — and helps non-DOT employers create safer, more proactive workplaces.
