Some employees may desire to wear respirators during certain operations that do not require the use of respiratory protection. Any Employee who voluntarily uses a respirator must first complete the designated Respirator Use Request Form to begin the approval process. OEHS will review each request on a case-by-case basis.  If the use of respiratory protection in a specific case will not jeopardize the health or safety of the employee, OEHS will recommend respirators for voluntary use and provide proper training.

If you have any questions regarding this process, please contact our office at 313-577-1200. Thank you for your cooperation.
