Respiratory Protection Standard - Training and Reference Materials
 Return to Training Materials for Agency Initiatives
Background The start-up date of OSHA's revised Respiratory Protection Standard is October 5, 1998. The provisions of OSHA's previous respirator standards (29 CFR 1910.134 and 29 CFR 1926.103) remain in effect and will be enforced until that date. OSHA's revised Respiratory Protection Standard replaces the respiratory protection standards adopted by OSHA in 1971 (29 CFR 1910.134 and 29 CFR 1926.103), and it applies to general industry, construction, shipyard, longshoring, and marine terminal workplaces. The entire previous respirator standard, 29 CFR 1910.134, is redesignated as 29 CFR 1910.139 Respiratory protection for M. tuberculosis, and will continue to apply to respirator use for protection against exposure to TB until OSHA finalizes its TB standard. Training Materials OSHA's Office of Training and Education has prepared outreach training materials for the revised respirator standard, 29 CFR 1910.134. These materials consist of 66 color slides that outline the major requirements of the standard, prints of the slides for instructor reference and student handouts, and various other handouts.
