In a respiratory protection program, who is authorized to perform fit testing and manage RP in DOEHRS?

• A. All employees
• B. External contractors only
• C. Authorized personnel to perform fit testing; manage RP in DOEHRS
• D. Supervisors only

Answer: (C)

The key idea here is that fit testing and the respiratory protection program in DOEHRS are responsibilities assigned to specific, trained individuals who have formal authorization and access to the DOEHRS system. Only those authorized personnel can perform fit testing and manage the RP records within DOEHRS, ensuring proper procedures, documentation, and accountability. This keeps the process consistent, compliant, and traceable, with appropriate training, recordkeeping, and system access to track fit tests, respirator assignments, medical clearances, and training. If everyone were allowed to perform fit tests or manage DOEHRS, or if it were limited to only supervisors or only external contractors, there would be gaps in training, consistency, and record accuracy. So the correct approach is that authorized personnel—those trained and granted access—handle fit testing and RP management in DOEHRS.
