| Abstract |
This article specifies the medical examinations that workers using respirators have to undergo, and completes the article analysed under CIS 03-766. It proposes three levels of examination for each respirator group (examinations prior to authorizing activities requiring the use of respirators, specific examinations according to the type of respirator, periodic examinations) and specifies the health problems that are counter-indicated to the wearing of respirators of a given group. Various practical aspects are also addressed, including: medical certificate of the aptitude to wear respirators; ergonometric tests (exercise tests protocols; calculation of energy expenditure); audiological function tests. |
