History of N95 Day
Created in 2012 by the CDC and NIOSH, N95 Day helps people recognize the importance of respiratory protection in the workplace. CDC-NIOSH created the initiative “Because N95 respirators are so important to the health and safety of workers in so many different industries,” NIOSH explains. “And because there is more to know about this personal protective device than just when to slap one on.” “
The groups dedicated the day to the promotion, celebration, dissemination, and proclamation of N95 information.
Mobile Health’s observation of N95 Day supports its commitment to strong respirator policies in organizations across the United States. Mobile Health performs thousands of qualitative respirator fit tests annually at its own locations and customers sites. Chief candidates are nurses, construction workers, and other laborers who must wear a filtering face piece respirator. The respirator fit test assures that workers can use a tight fitting respirator safely and comfortably.
