The Respiratory Hazard Assessment Form is a vital workplace safety document required under Canadian occupational health and safety regulations. This form must be completed whenever workers may be exposed to respiratory hazards in the workplace, including but not limited to dusts, fumes, gases, vapors, or biological agents. The assessment helps employers fulfill their legal obligations under both federal and provincial legislation to identify, assess, and control workplace hazards. It provides a structured approach to evaluating respiratory risks, documenting exposure levels, reviewing control measures, and determining appropriate respiratory protection requirements. The form should be updated when there are changes to workplace processes, materials, or conditions that could affect respiratory hazards, or at minimum annually as part of the organization's regular health and safety review process.
