Voluntary N95 Respirator Use
Voluntary N95 Respirator Use
Respirators may be used to provide an additional level of comfort and protection even when exposures do not reach hazardous levels. This is considered Voluntary Use of a Respirator. Appropriate uses may include:
- COVID-19 concerns for at-risk individuals (e.g., immunocompromised, unvaccinated, elderly)
- Hazardous air pollution due to wildfire events
- Seasonal allergies for outdoor work environments
- Working in non-hazardous dusty work environments
- Odors within non-hazardous work environments
If you are unsure if a respirator may be required for your work, consult with your supervisor.
