Per the St. Olaf College Respiratory Protection Program, respiratory protection is designated by EHS as either mandatory or voluntary, depending upon an exposure assessment and the hazard level.
When a respirator fit test is required, the respiratory medical questionnaire, physician’s evaluation, and respirator training must be completed prior to the fit test.

NOTE: Personal use of a mask/respirator for protection against flu/cold/COVID-19/etc., (1) is not covered under the Respiratory Protection program, (2) does not require approval from EHS.
If you are experiencing cold or flu-like symptoms then stay home.
