What is an Online Respirator Medical Evaluation?
An online respirator medical evaluation is an OSHA-compliant health screening completed entirely through a secure web platform. Instead of scheduling an in-person clinic appointment, employees answer the official OSHA Appendix C medical questionnaire online from any device with internet access.
The evaluation assesses whether an employee can safely wear a respirator without health risks. This includes screening for respiratory conditions (asthma, COPD), cardiovascular issues, claustrophobia, and other factors that could make respirator use dangerous.
Key components of an online evaluation:
- OSHA Appendix C Questionnaire
15 health-related questions exactly as specified in OSHA 1910.134
- PLHCP Medical Review
Licensed healthcare professional reviews all flagged responses within 24 hours
- Medical Clearance Certificate
Official OSHA-compliant certificate proving medical clearance to wear respirators
- HIPAA-Compliant Record Storage
Permanent digital storage with enterprise-grade security and 30-year retention
Online evaluations achieve the same medical and regulatory outcomes as traditional clinic visits, but eliminate travel time, reduce costs by 80-90%, and deliver results in minutes instead of days. For employers managing multiple locations or remote workers, online evaluations provide centralized tracking and instant compliance verification.
Are Online Respirator Evaluations OSHA Compliant?
✓ YES - Online evaluations are fully OSHA 1910.134 compliant when conducted properly
OSHA does not mandate in-person clinic visits. The regulation requires a "physician or other licensed health care professional (PLHCP)" to determine medical ability to wear a respirator. This can be accomplished remotely.
OSHA 1910.134(e)(1) states: "The employer shall provide a medical evaluation to determine the employee's ability to use a respirator, before the employee is fit tested or required to use the respirator in the workplace."
The regulation does NOT specify where or how this evaluation must occur. OSHA explicitly allows employers to use the Appendix C questionnaire and permits PLHCPs to review responses remotely. What matters is that:
- The evaluation uses OSHA Appendix C questionnaire
We use the exact OSHA Appendix C form with all 15 mandatory questions
- A licensed healthcare professional reviews responses
Dr. Nader Mikhail, MD (California Medical License #G88906) reviews all flagged evaluations
- Medical clearance is documented
We provide official certificates accepted by OSHA inspectors nationwide
- Employee medical information remains confidential
Employers receive clearance status only, never specific medical details (HIPAA compliant)
15,000+ Certificates Issued • 100% OSHA Acceptance Rate
RespiratorTest.com has successfully issued over 15,000 medical clearance certificates since 2020. Our certificates have been accepted by OSHA inspectors in all 50 states during compliance audits. Zero rejections. Zero compliance citations related to online evaluations.
During OSHA inspections, compliance officers verify that employers have documented medical evaluations from a PLHCP before respirator use. They review certificates, check that evaluations occurred before fit testing, and confirm that medical information is kept confidential. Online evaluations meet all these requirements identically to clinic-based evaluations.

When In-Person Follow-Up is Needed
While 98% of employees receive instant medical clearance through our online evaluation, approximately 2% require additional review or in-person examination. This typically occurs when employees answer "yes" to certain medical screening questions that may affect their ability to safely wear a respirator.
Common scenarios requiring follow-up:
- Existing Respiratory Conditions
Asthma, COPD, emphysema, or other lung diseases may require physician consultation to determine safe respirator use
- Cardiovascular Issues
Heart disease, high blood pressure, or recent cardiac events may necessitate stress testing or physician clearance
- Claustrophobia or Anxiety Disorders
Some employees may require alternative respirator types (PAPR instead of tight-fitting masks)
What Happens During Follow-Up
Our PLHCP (Dr. Mikhail) reviews flagged questionnaires within 24 hours. He may: (1) provide conditional clearance with restrictions, (2) recommend alternative respirator types like PAPRs, or (3) request additional medical documentation from the employee's personal physician. Employees are notified by email with clear next steps. Employers receive clearance status updates but never see specific medical details due to HIPAA privacy protections.
Important: Online evaluations identify employees who need additional medical review—the same screening that occurs in clinic-based evaluations. The difference is speed and convenience: our PLHCP begins review within 24 hours instead of waiting 1-3 weeks for a clinic appointment.

Is online respirator medical evaluation OSHA compliant?
Yes, online respirator medical evaluations are fully OSHA 1910.134 compliant when conducted by a licensed healthcare professional (PLHCP). RespiratorTest.com uses the official OSHA Appendix C questionnaire, and all responses are reviewed by Dr. Nader Mikhail, a licensed Medical Doctor. Our certificates are accepted by OSHA inspectors nationwide. We have issued 15,000+ certificates with 100% acceptance rate.
How much does an online respirator medical evaluation cost?
RespiratorTest.com charges $17-22 per test depending on volume, compared to $75-150 at traditional occupational health clinics. Individual evaluations are $22. Teams of 2-25 pay $20/test. Teams of 26-50 pay $18/test. Teams of 51+ pay $17/test. All prices include PLHCP review, instant certificate delivery, and lifetime record storage. No hidden fees.
How long does an online respirator evaluation take?
Most employees complete the OSHA Appendix C questionnaire in 10-15 minutes. Results are instant for 98% of evaluations. The remaining 2% require PLHCP review and are typically cleared within 24 business hours. This is 90% faster than traditional clinic visits that require 2-4 hours including travel and wait time.
Who reviews the online medical questionnaires?
All flagged questionnaires are reviewed by our Medical Review Officer (MRO), Dr. Nader Mikhail, MD, a board-certified physician licensed in California. Approximately 98% of evaluations result in automatic clearance based on "no" answers to medical screening questions. The remaining 2% are reviewed by Dr. Mikhail within 24 business hours to determine medical clearance.
What happens after I complete the online evaluation?
For 98% of employees with no medical concerns, you receive instant medical clearance. Your OSHA-compliant certificate is immediately available for download and stored permanently in your account. You can print it, email it to your employer, or access it anytime from your dashboard. The certificate is valid for 12 months and accepted by all OSHA inspectors.
Can I use this for N95 respirators?
Yes, if your employer requires N95 respirator use (mandatory use). OSHA requires medical evaluations for all tight-fitting respirators including N95 masks when use is mandatory. If N95 use is voluntary only, OSHA does not require medical evaluation, though employers must provide Appendix D information to employees.
Is my medical information kept confidential?
Yes. All medical information is protected under HIPAA and stored with enterprise-grade encryption. Your employer only receives clearance status (cleared or not cleared) - they never see your specific medical responses or conditions. Your privacy is our top priority and we comply with all federal medical privacy regulations.
Do I need to schedule an appointment?
No appointments necessary. Complete your evaluation 24/7 from any device with internet access. Start immediately and finish in 15 minutes. This eliminates the 1-3 week wait times typical of clinic-based evaluations and allows employees to complete evaluations on their own schedule.
What if I fail the medical evaluation?
Employees who do not receive medical clearance will receive notification with next steps. Our PLHCP may recommend: (1) additional medical examination by your physician, (2) use of a different type of respirator (e.g., PAPR instead of tight-fitting), or (3) workplace modifications to eliminate the need for respiratory protection. Employers are notified of "not cleared" status but do not receive specific medical details due to HIPAA.
How long is the certificate valid?
OSHA does not specify an expiration period for respirator medical evaluations. However, industry best practice and most compliance attorneys recommend annual re-evaluation, which aligns with OSHA annual fit testing requirement. RespiratorTest.com certificates are issued for 12 months and include automated renewal reminders to maintain continuous compliance.
Can I use online evaluations for N95, half-mask, and full-face respirators?
Yes. Online medical evaluations are OSHA-compliant for all tight-fitting respirators including disposable N95 masks, reusable half-mask respirators with cartridges, full-facepiece respirators, and SCBAs. The OSHA Appendix C questionnaire assesses medical ability to wear any type of respirator. Your employer selects the respirator type during setup.
Do employers see my medical answers?
No. Under HIPAA and OSHA regulations, employers receive only clearance status (cleared or not cleared). They never see your specific medical responses or conditions. Your medical information is reviewed exclusively by our licensed physician (Dr. Nader Mikhail, MD) and remains confidential. Employers cannot access employee questionnaire responses or medical details.
What if I need to update my medical information after completing the evaluation?
OSHA requires re-evaluation when: (1) an employee reports medical signs/symptoms related to respirator use, (2) a PLHCP or supervisor observes medical problems, or (3) significant changes occur in workplace conditions. You can request a new evaluation at any time through your account dashboard. Additional evaluations cost $22 each. Most employers include unlimited re-evaluations in enterprise plans.
How quickly can I get my entire team evaluated?
Online evaluations scale instantly. You can certify 5 employees or 500 employees in the same day. Send bulk invitation emails to your team, and each employee completes their 15-minute evaluation on their own schedule. 98% receive instant clearance. Large teams (100+ employees) can be fully certified within 24-48 hours compared to 4-8 weeks for clinic-based evaluations due to appointment scheduling limitations.
What happens if an employee is not medically cleared?
Approximately 2% of employees do not receive initial clearance due to medical conditions flagged during questionnaire review. Our PLHCP provides specific guidance: (1) conditional clearance with restrictions (e.g., limited duration of use), (2) alternative respirator recommendations (PAPRs instead of tight-fitting masks), or (3) request for additional medical documentation from the employee's personal physician. Employers must provide reasonable accommodation under ADA when feasible, such as alternative respiratory protection or job reassignment.
