Respiratory protection training covering hazard assessment, respirator selection, fit testing, use, and program requirements under Ontario law.
This 4 hour course will focus on the legal obligation to protect workers from atmospheric hazards.
Built to the combined standards of O reg.833 (regulation for the control of biological and chemical agents), NIOSH, and CSA standards, participants will learn to recognize respiratory hazards, choose appropriate protection. They will also learn to inspect and care for respiratory PPE.
Enroll today to gain skills in evidence gathering, root cause analysis, and OHSA-compliant reporting.
Respiratory protection training is required when workers may be exposed to airborne contaminants that cannot be adequately controlled through engineering or administrative measures.
This 4 Hour training supports compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act and applicable regulations by ensuring workers understand when respiratory protection is required, how to select and use respirators properly, and their responsibilities within a respiratory protection program.
Built to the combined standards of O reg.833 (regulation for the control of biological and chemical agents), NIOSH, and CSA standards, participants will learn to inspect and care for respiratory PPE.
This course builds awareness and practical competency related to respiratory hazards and protective equipment.
By the end of this 4-hour course, participants will be able to:
Enroll today to gain skills in evidence gathering, root cause analysis, and OHSA-compliant reporting.
This course is intended for individuals who use or oversee the use of respiratory protective equipment in the workplace.
Supervisors who oversee workers that use half or full face respirators to prevent inhalation of hazardous substances.
Workers that use half or full face respirators to prevent inhalation of hazardous substances.
Employers responsible for ensuring respiratory hazards are identified and workers are adequately protected.
Individuals involved in hazard assessment, control selection, and respiratory protection programs.
Workplaces must identify airborne contaminants such as dusts, fumes, vapours, or biological agents that may pose a respiratory risk to workers.
When hazards cannot be adequately controlled, appropriate respiratory protection must be selected based on exposure type, concentration, and task requirements.
Respiratory protective equipment must be used correctly, inspected regularly, and maintained in clean, serviceable condition to remain effective.
Respiratory hazards are commonly reviewed during inspections due to the potential for serious health impacts.
During inspections or compliance reviews, Ministry of Labour inspectors assess whether respiratory hazards have been identified and whether appropriate controls are in place.
Inspectors routinely assess:
Identification of airborne hazards
Selection and use of respiratory protection
Condition, inspection, and maintenance of respiratory PPE
Worker training and awareness
Supervisor oversight of respiratory protection programs
This course helps workplaces understand how respiratory protection is evaluated during inspections and how proper training supports compliance.
Secure Your Future.
This course provides a Record of Training (ROT) confirming completion of Respiratory Protection Training aligned with Ontario workplace safety expectations.
While this is not a government issued certification, the Record of Training is commonly used by employers to document that workers have received formal instruction related to respiratory protection.
Training records support employer documentation and may be requested during inspections or safety program reviews.
Uncontrolled exposure to airborne hazards can result in serious health effects, regulatory enforcement, and long term liability.
Providing Respiratory Protection Training helps organizations demonstrate due diligence by ensuring workers understand respiratory hazards, equipment use, and protective practices.
After completing this course, participants have a clearer understanding of how respiratory hazards are controlled in the workplace.
Workers leave with awareness of:
The course explained respiratory hazards in a way that made sense. I feel more confident using and caring for my respirator now.
I liked that it focused on proper use and maintenance. The donning and inspection parts were especially helpful.
This training helped clarify when respiratory protection is required and what supervisors should be checking on site.
Experts also agree this training supports effective respiratory protection practices aligned with Ontario regulations and recognized safety standards.
