OSBN Adopts Respirator Surveillance Policy

In June 2009, the Oregon State Board of Nursing (OSBN) approved a new policy designed to provide clear guidance for nurses who engage in administration of the Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Oregon OSHA) Respirator Medical Evaluation Questionnaire (OROSHA Respiratory Protection standard,1910.134) and who may provide clearance for respirator fit testing.

The policy defines the role of the Nurse Practitioner (NP), Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) and Registered Nurse when administrating and evaluating the Medical Evaluation Questionnaire. It is important to note that the policy expands the role of the CNS and RN when administrating and evaluating the Medical Evaluation Questionnaire. Please click here to review the new policy

Members from OSAOHN were part of a task force who assisted the board in development of this policy.
