Respirator Clearance

Fast. OSHA-Compliant. 100% Online.

Before any worker can safely wear a respirator, OSHA requires a completed respirator clearance and medical evaluation reviewed by a licensed healthcare professional. Our platform makes this step quick, secure, and stress-free—so you can get clearance in minutes and keep your workforce productive and audit-ready.

What Is Respirator Clearance?

Respirator clearance is the OSHA-required medical evaluation that determines if a worker is medically fit to wear a respirator.

It is the first step in a compliant respiratory protection program. It’s a respirator medical evaluation that determines whether an employee is physically able to use a respirator without risk to their health.

Each worker completes an online medical evaluation questionnaire, which screens for any medical conditions or a condition that could interfere with safe respirator use. A licensed healthcare professional then issues a medical clearance letter.

Once cleared, the employee can move on to a fit test, respirator fit test, and begin respirator use safely.

Why OSHA Requires Respirator Clearance

Under 29 CFR 1910.134, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) mandates that employers verify every employee’s ability to safely use a respirator before assignment. This protects worker health, reduces liability, and ensures compliance with the federal respiratory protection standard. Skipping or mishandling respirator clearance can result in fines, delays, or worse—serious risks to respiratory protection and workplace safety.

Fast, Online Medical Evaluation

We streamline respirator clearance by combining the online questionnaire, provider review, and clearance letter into one seamless workflow. Workers complete the secure questionnaire online; our licensed medical team reviews it quickly; and your clearance letters are delivered digitally—so you can move directly into respirator fit testing without delays. This process even integrates with pulmonary function test scheduling when required.
