Le 10 février 2022, les National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine ont publié un rapport d’étude consensuel intitulé Frameworks for Protecting Workers and the Public from Inhalation Hazards. Les partenaires fédéraux, le NIOSH, l’Agence de protection de l’environnement (EPA) et le Département d’État, ainsi que la Fondation CDC, ont commandé ce rapport pour répondre à l’évolution des besoins en matière de protection respiratoire du public et des travailleurs qui ne sont pas soumis à un programme de protection respiratoire.
On February 10,2022, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine published a Consensus Study Report titled, Frameworks for Protecting Workers and the Public from Inhalation Hazards. Federal partners, NIOSH, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of State, as well as the CDC Foundation, commissioned this report to address the evolving respiratory protection needs of the public and workers not operating under a respiratory protection program. When employers can identify inhalation hazards in advance–such as viruses, wildfire smoke, or mold–they can protect their workers with a respiratory protection program. The Consensus Study Report recommends a framework that can provide a unified and authoritative source of information for the effective oversight of the development, approval, and use of respiratory protection for the public and workers not protected by a respiratory protection program.
