OSHA Respirator Medical Evaluation:
Compliant. Confidential. Same-Day.
Under 29 CFR 1910.134, employees must be medically evaluated by a licensed health care professional before using a respirator. C.M.D. Occ-Med makes that process seamless, fully online, physician-reviewed, and completed the same day.
What OSHA Requires.
OSHA's Respiratory Protection standard (29 CFR 1910.134) mandates that any employee required to wear a respirator must first receive medical clearance from a Physician or Licensed Health Care Professional (PLHCP). This applies to filtering facepieces, half and full-facepiece respirators, powered air-purifying units, and supplied-air equipment.
The mandatory Appendix C questionnaire must be completed annually, administered confidentially, and reviewed directly by the PLHCP. Your employer is prohibited from viewing your responses.
If an employee answers positively to any of questions 1 through 8 in Part A Section 2, a follow-up medical examination is required before clearance can be granted. Annual fit testing must be paired with the questionnaire to fully satisfy OSHA's respiratory protection program requirements.
Annual Requirements Under 1910.134
Employees complete the OSHA-mandated Appendix C questionnaire from any device. No clinic visits required, and no disruption to your daily operations.
Our licensed medical team reviews and signs each questionnaire the same day it is submitted. Written clearance is issued promptly to meet OSHA's authorization requirement before respirator use begins.
Employee responses go directly to our PLHCP. Your employer never sees the completed questionnaire, keeping the process in full compliance with 1910.134(e)(4)(i).
Employees who trigger a follow-up under Section 2 Part A are contacted immediately and guided toward in-person evaluation, keeping your compliance record clean and your workforce protected.
