Removing amalgam? Your respirator isn’t optional — and neither is OSHA. 🛑
If you follow the SDS for mercury, your team needs a NIOSH-certified respirator (not a surgical mask, not a KN95). And the moment you put staff in respirators, OSHA 1910.134 kicks in: a written program run by a Respiratory Protection Administrator, medical evaluations, and fit testing.
Improper respirators and half-followed protocols don’t protect your team — they expose them.
I’ll be at IAOMT in Columbus, OH, Sept 3-5 with Randall and Dental Safety Solutions. Bring your OSHA and RPA questions — we’ll help you get compliant and keep your team safe.
