Note to Physician
The Occupational Health & Safety Administration (OSHA) and Vermont OSHA (VOSHA) permits the use
of respirators under their regulation 29 CFR 1910.134 in the control of those occupational diseases caused
by breathing air contaminated with harmful dust, fogs, fumes, mists, gases, smoke, sprays, or vapors.
The regulations also state that persons should not be assigned to tasks requiring use of a respirator unless it
has been determined that they are physically able to perform the work and use the equipment. The local
physician shall determine what health and physical conditions are pertinent at the time of application. The
respirator user’s medical status should be reviewed periodically with the employee by the EH&S
department after physician’s initial exam.
Since our employee, your patient, comes under these regulations we are requesting a medical evaluation for
the use of a half face/full face negative pressure or a positive pressure self contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA) or Positive Air Pressure Respirator (PAPR) as indicated on the front of this form.
Any questions may be direct to my attention at 443-5726
