NIOSH - Respirator Federal Register Webinar, November 18, 10 - 11 AM

NIOSH's Second Elastomeric Half-Mask Respirator (EHMR) Federal Register Notice Webinar

Wednesday, November 18, 2020 10:00-11:00 AM PDT

Elastomeric half mask respirators (EHMRs) are reusable respirators that may be worn in a healthcare setting and supplement the supply of disposable respirators available to healthcare workers. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)—in coordination with the Strategic National Stockpile—posted a Federal Register Notice (FRN) titled “A National Elastomeric Half Mask Respirator (EHMR) Strategy for Use in Healthcare Settings During an Infectious Disease Outbreak/Pandemic”.

Through this FRN, NIOSH is seeking input regarding the national distribution plan of purchased EHMRs, as well as identifying potential organizations interested in receiving a portion of these EHMRs with the commitment to provide a report of user acceptability and feasibility of implementation.

NIOSH is seeking organizations including, but not limited to:
•       Hospital systems, individual hospitals, and/or specific hospital units (i.e., emergency department, intensive care units)
•       Outpatient care settings (i.e., offices, clinics, home care, urgent care, rehab centers)
•       Long term care facilities
•       Dental practices
•       First responder organizations (i.e., police, fire, EMS)

To learn more about how your organization can participate in this effort, please join us for a webinar on November 18th from 1:00-2:00pm (ET).  NIOSH will provide an overview of EHMRs, a summary of the FRN, expectations of potential participants, next steps, and answer any questions you may have.
