Online Respirator Medical Clearance
Get OSHA-compliant respirator medical clearance in minutes with our physician-reviewed online questionnaire. Fast, secure, and hassle-free compliance for your entire workforce.
Our Respiratory Evaluation Services
We provide comprehensive respiratory clearance through two primary evaluation methods: Medical Evaluation Questionnaires (MEQs) and Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs)
MEQ Services
Medical Evaluation Questionnaires
What is an MEQ?
A Medical Evaluation Questionnaire is the OSHA-required health assessment (Appendix C of 1910.134) that evaluates an employee's ability to safely wear a respirator. The questionnaire covers medical history, respiratory symptoms, and cardiovascular conditions. Read our OSHA respirator medical evaluation questionnaire guide for full details.
How Our Platform Handles MEQs
Employees complete a secure, digital version of the OSHA Appendix C questionnaire online. Our system automatically evaluates responses, instantly clearing low-risk employees while flagging complex cases for physician review within 24 hours. You can compare the online path to clinic visits in our detailed breakdown.
When MEQs are Required
OSHA mandates MEQs before initial respirator fit testing, before first-time respirator use, and whenever health changes may affect safe respirator use. Our platform automatically tracks expiration dates and renewal requirements.
MEQ Key Features
- Automated risk-stratification and instant approvals
- Physician review for complex medical histories
- English and Spanish language support
- Mobile-friendly completion from any device
- Digital clearance certificates with QR verification
PFT Services
Pulmonary Function Tests
What is a PFT?
Pulmonary Function Tests are objective measurements of lung capacity and airflow that assess respiratory health. PFTs include spirometry testing that measures how much air you can breathe in and out, and how quickly you can exhale.
How Our Platform Handles PFTs
Our platform integrates with spirometry equipment to capture and store PFT results digitally. Occupational medicine physicians review results to determine respirator clearance status. The system maintains all test records for compliance and tracks when follow-up testing is needed.
When PFTs are Required
PFTs are medically indicated when an employee reports respiratory symptoms on their MEQ, has a history of lung disease, or when a physician determines additional evaluation is necessary for safe respirator use. They're also used for ongoing monitoring in high-risk environments.
PFT Key Features
- Integration with spirometry software and equipment
- Physician interpretation of test results
- Secure storage of test data and trend analysis
- Automatic linking to employee clearance records
- Compliance tracking for periodic re-testing
How MEQs and PFTs Work Together
Step 1: MEQ
Employee completes medical questionnaire online
Step 2: PFT (If Needed)
Physician orders PFT for employees with risk factors
Step 3: Clearance
Employee receives respirator clearance certificate
The Result: Most employees (90%+) receive instant clearance through MEQ alone. For those requiring additional evaluation, PFTs provide the objective data physicians need to make informed clearance decisions, all within one integrated platform.
