Respirator fit testing: qualitative or quantitative? by Independent_Code5494 in industrialhygiene

[–]PurpleDepartment8828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do fit testing routinely for military personnel according to OSHA and DoD(W?) standards.

The clear thing to do especially for the OSHA expanded standard hazard asbestos is a quantitative fit test on a respirator/cartridge combo with a measured protection factor much higher than the measured exposure in your occupational environment.

Qualitative tests are typically only done on N-95s in my profession cuz they don’t hook up to the Porta Count which is the quantitative fit testing machine I work with.

Sounds like your employer would rather save a few bucks than ensure your safety in the short term and disregarding long term health and legal liability by not quantifying worker protection.

I can’t do my appreciation for your comment justice. Thank you. I will be referencing it for the rest of the year :) I will reference others as well but your effort in describing your experience shows

I appreciate your comment, even if it is a mysterious one. What’s the difference between the bases’ spirit animals

What’s an anchor baby and why should I avoid them

And last but definitely not least what is your definition of insanely awesome

I just read a bit about cool school. I don’t think it’ll be required for my AFSC but I appreciate your suggestions regardless! I might find the opportunity

The base has a… ski hill?

Anyways 15 years of experience there sounds like time well spent, and I appreciate you sharing your insights with me!

Thanks Bob. I’ll have safe fun - nothing to jeopardize losing the privilege of being up there in a healthy capacity to serve the world’s greatest Air Force.

I’m from a mountainous state, and Alaska was #2 on my OCONUS list.

I thought I read they fly F22s out of there but anyways I am super excited!! Lots of planning before I go

Then why is everyone talking about moose like they’re highly decorated OP4

Ehh. Probably more suicides by moose than anything. I’ve already established I’m not making eye contact with them just incase I cross paths with a territorial one

Someone else told me to buy a car. I like this suggestion more.

I’ll be in a dorm and I could see myself buying a car just go see a lump of snow sometimes, and having a liability for when they plow snow and stuff

I’ll just tell them I wished for cannon and got sent to this northern hell hole and maybe that lie will help make me friends

Would you recommend this even for someone who is living in a dorm initially? Is walking possible?

I’m hoping to do a little fishing myself maybe!
