The NETEC webinar, “PPE From A to Z: N95s and Respiratory Protection”, emphasized the critical need for proper N95 fit and regular fit testing to ensure full protection. A deep understanding of airborne transmission, along with ongoing training, is essential to creating a safety culture that minimizes risks. In addition to cost, factors like equipment availability, maintenance, and staff training must be considered to build an effective respiratory protection program that meets OSHA requirements.
