It provides the procedural information and guidance associated with controlling health hazards where departmental members are endangered by exposure to a hazardous substance in the air. The RPP consists of components for: program administration; hazard identification; selection of respiratory protective devices (RPD); training; cleaning and maintenance of RPD; testing of breathing air; health surveillance of the wearer; and program evaluation.
