4A1: Elements of a Safety Program

Utilize the OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard to identify the elements that you are required to include in your program for Wildcat Welding & Manufacturing. Incorporate the elements that you identify from the standard into an outline. Be detailed in your research – your goal is to create a document that could be used to prevent a catastrophic event.

For Example: If I were to create a Confined Space Program, I would complete an outline with the following areas identified from 29 CFR 1910.146.
