Download iCal FileThe Great Lakes Center for Occupational Health and Safety is hosting a NIOSH-Approved Spirometry Training. OSHA requires those who administer spirometry tests as part of mandated health surveillance for employees exposed to cotton dust and respirable crystalline silica to complete NIOSH-approved spirometry training courses. MSHA also requires this training for administering spirometry tests to coal miners as part of mandated health surveillance. NIOSH-approved spirometry trainings have also been widely accepted for healthcare professionals in other settings.
Participants will gain the knowledge and practical skills to collect accurate and valid spirometry results from our practicum instructors who have extensive experience in spirometry testing. This will include 16 hours of instruction. No prior training in pulmonary function testing is required.
For primary care practitioners, internists, allergists, pulmonologists, occupational medicine physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, and their office technical staff who are, or may be, conducting spirometry.
