[CED/CD/EAT] Respirator Fit Testing Training Yuma May 1st and Maricopa May 3rd

[Wierda, Michael R - (mwierda)]

Hello.
Would you please share the following announcement with your list serves and/or in your newsletters as you see appropriate. Thank you very much for helping spread the word about this important pesticide safety training opportunity.

The University of Arizona Pesticide Safety Education Program will be offering two Respiratory Fit Testing Training events in May (Yuma May 1st & Maricopa May 3rd). The events will focus on respiratory safety related to pesticide usage. These events will cover regulatory requirements, identifying and purchasing respirators and cartridges, training requirements, medical clearance, fit testing, and safe use of respirators. The program will also prepare someone to become a Respiratory Safety Program Administrator and provide CEU safety training for applicators, mixer, and loaders using respirators.

Additionally, the opportunity to be professional fit tested for a respirator will be provided. Those who wish to be fit tested must complete their medical clearance and bring their certificate to the event. These events are bringing two subject area experts from the NC Agromedicine Institute to AZ. They bring years of experience and insights gained while conducting trainings in 4 states for over 200 individuals since 2014.
Further details including; locations, times, and registration links are available on the attached flyer<https://acis.cals.arizona.edu/docs/default-source/pesticide-education-training/events/medical-eval-resp-fit-testing-flyer.pdf?sfvrsn=50ccc0df_4>.

If you have any questions please contact me.

Respectively,
Dr. Wierda
