Preplacement spirometric examination within three months and chest X-ray (within three to six months) as soon as possible after beginning employment. 2. A spirometric examination each year for the first three years after beginning employment and every two to three years thereafter if the worker is still engaged in work. 3. A chest X-ray every four to five years for the first 15 years of employment and every three years thereafter if the worker is still engaged in work. 4. A chest X-ray and spirometric examination when employment ends if more than six months have passed since the last examination. 5. A standardized respiratory symptom questionnaire, such as the American Thoracic Society (ATS) respiratory questionnaire (Ferris, 1978), to be administered at the preplacement examination and updated at each periodic examination. 6. A standardized occupational history questionnaire (listing of all jobs held up to and including present employment, a description of all duties and potential exposures, and a description of all protective equipment the worker has used) to be administered at the preplacement examination and updated at each periodic examination. DRAFT 7 Appendix 3 Elements of a Respiratory Protection Programme (NIOSH, 1995) 1. A designated individual responsible for the administration of the programme. 2. A written programme for respiratory protection, containing standard operating procedures governing the selection and use of respirators. 3. Initial and annual training of workers in the proper use and limitations of respirators. 4. Annual training of people whose job requires them to be certified at workplaces in the use of self-contained self-rescuer devices. 5. Evaluation of working conditions in the workplace (including periodic air monitoring of worker exposures) to identify situations that require respiratory protection. 6. Routine inspection, cleaning, maintenance and proper storage of respirators. 7. Initial quantitative fit testing by a trained and qualified person to determine the level of protection provided by each respirator worn. 8. Additional daily fit checks conducted by the worker to ensure proper assembly, function and face-seal integrity of the respirator. 9. Medical evaluation of the worker's physical ability to perform work continuously while breathing through a respirator. 10. Continual evaluation of programme effectiveness through the monitoring of respirator- use patterns, quarterly inspection of the respirator maintenance programme and testing of supervisors and workers for awareness of respirator use requirements.
