OSHA has produced two new videos that feature
training and guidance on respirator safety. The
"Respiratory Safety" video shows healthcare workers how
to correctly put on and take off respirators, such as
N95s. The "Difference Between Respirators and
Surgical Masks" video explains the particular uses for
each one and how they prevent worker exposure to
infectious diseases. Viewers can watch both
English and Spanish versions by visiting the Department
of Labor's YouTube site.
