Respirators are used in a variety of workplaces including emergency
response, mining operations, construction, manufacturing, and
hospitals. In 2001, National Institute of Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH) and Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioned a
nationwide survey of respirator use in the workplace, the results
of which were published in the 2003 report Respirator Usage in
Private Sector Firms. The purpose of the survey was to evaluate
respirator use and practices, including training practices and the
value of respirator manufacturer's instruction, in order to help
guide NIOSH respirator certification and research. This National
Research Council (NRC) report evaluates the survey in terms of
several measures such as the adequacy and appropriateness of the
survey instrument, the survey methodology, data analysis, and the
conclusions drawn from the data. The NRC report finds that the
survey was an important first step in collecting respiratory
protection data from a probability sample but that several
improvements could be made in survey design and analysis. Based on
the review of the survey, the NRC report concludes that data on
respirator use would be best provided by employers and employees in
the context of the work setting. Table of Contents Front Matter
