OSHA’s position on the respiratory protection “program administrator”

1910.134(c)(3) requires employers to designate a person as the respiratory protection “program administrator” and to ensure that this person is qualified to perform the responsibilities of this position. The person can be qualified either by appropriate training or experience or both. The administrator is also the person responsible for evaluating the program, as stated in paragraph (c)(3). The training requirements and experience level necessary for the program administrator were the subject of substantial comment. OSHA proposed that the program supervisor be a person “qualified by appropriate training and/or experience” to be responsible for the respirator program.
