29 CFR 1910.134
Respiratory Protection
What Respiratory Protection requires
Required respirator use means a written program, medical evaluation, annual fit testing, and annual training. Voluntary filtering-facepiece use still requires you to provide Appendix D information.
Who must be trained: Employees exposed to this hazard, before the exposure begins.
What must be on file: Written respiratory protection program, Medical evaluation records, Annual fit test records, Appendix D acknowledgments.
