What is a Respirator Medical Evaluation?

A respirator medical evaluation is a health assessment required by OSHA before any employee can wear respiratory protection at work. This evaluation ensures you can safely use a respirator without risking your health.

Under OSHA regulation 1910.134, employers must provide a medical evaluation to all employees who are required to wear respirators. The evaluation is conducted by a Physician or Licensed Healthcare Professional (PLHCP) who reviews your medical history and determines your fitness to wear respiratory protection.

The evaluation uses the OSHA Appendix C questionnaire, which covers your medical history, current health conditions, and the physical demands of your work environment. Based on your responses, the PLHCP determines if you are cleared, cleared with restrictions, or not cleared for respirator use.

OSHA 1910.134 Requirements

  • Medical evaluation before respirator use
  • PLHCP must review and approve
  • Appendix C questionnaire or equivalent
  • Written recommendation required
  • Employer pays for evaluation
  • Must be completed during work hours

Any employee required to wear a tight-fitting respirator at work needs a medical evaluation. This includes N95 masks, half-mask respirators, full-face respirators, and SCBAs.

OSHA does not specify a re-evaluation period, but industry best practice recommends annual evaluations. Re-evaluation is required if you report medical signs or symptoms affecting respirator use, a physician recommends it, observations during fit testing indicate a need, or there are changes in workplace conditions that increase physiological burden.

You complete the OSHA Appendix C medical questionnaire covering your medical history, current health conditions, and the type of respirator work you will perform. A licensed PLHCP reviews your responses and determines if you are medically able to wear respiratory protection. If cleared, you receive a certificate documenting your approval.
