I know I have asked this question before, but I need a current consensus of what the nuclear industry is doing. Here are a few quick questions regarding respirator medicals and cleaning. Quick answers are appreciated. Calls are welcomed too. Respirator Medical Questions: 1. What is your respirator medical frequency? (i.e. 1 year, 2 year , 3 year) 2. Are all respirator medicals performed by the station medical group? Are they out-sourced? Does anyone send their personnel to a hospital for testing? I mention the hospital option because I hear this from vendors occasionally. 3. If you have a 2 or more year requal frequency, how do you handle folks who have a medical condition which requires a more frequent evaluation? Respirator Cleaning Questions? 1. How do you clean your respirators used for fit testing or training (non-RCA respirators)? (i.e. respirator washer, buckets, vendor services, etc.) 2. What chemicals do you use? 3. Do you use a manufacturer recommended cleaner & sanitizer (i.e. MSA Confidence Plus) over the OSHA recommended cleaners? Any issues with them? 4. Has anyone ever raised the issue of the cleaners being effective against H1N1 virus and how have you addressed this issue? Thanks in advance!
