Abstract |
Description of the various stages of implementation of a successful respiratory protection programme introduced on a voluntary basis in a large industrial plant. The basic features of the programme, which involves 1,100 workers, are thorough evaluation of the hazard, securing management approval and union support, participation of supervisors, education and training of workers, care and maintenance of respirators and evaluation of the results. One year after the launching of the scheme, 75% of the workers were complying voluntarily with it. |
