This body of research, combined with studies of individual companies (see boxes, below, with Case Studies of Programs Implemented under OSHA s Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) and Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP)) danonstrate clearly that injury and illness prevention programs are effective at the establishment level in dramatically reducing risk of workplace injury. This effect has also been detected in state-wide comparisons.

The air, dust, and fumes some workers breathe at work can make them sick. Respiratory protection is of primary importance since inhalation is one of the major routes of exposure to chemical toxicants. OSHA requires respirator training under CFR 29 CFR Part 1910.134. The standard basically states that in any workplace where respirators are necessary to protect the health of the worker the employer will develop and implement a respirator protection program.
