Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) in an Institutional Environment: IAQ refers to the quality of the air inside buildings as represented by concentrations of pollutants and thermal (temperature and relative humidity) conditions that affect the health, comfort and performance of occupants. The EPA estimates that poor IAQ or SBS results in 10 of billions of dollars a year in lost productivity due to absenteeism, and medical costs. The presentation is primarily for facilities personnel charged with maintaining and installing HVAC systems and outlines the EHSRM perspective. Included in the presentation is the role of the EHSRM in working with facilities to diagnose IAQ issues, the definition of a Sick Building, the types of surveys conducted to assess poor IAQ, regulations and guidelines applicable to IAQ in the workplace, mold sampling and analysis, and mold remediation.

Respiratory Fit Test Program for N95 Mask and Other Tight Fitting Respirators: This training is for those who are required to wear a tight fitting respirator as required by the nature of their work with UTRGV. This in-person session covers selection of the right style of respirator, fit testing procedures for qualitative fit testing (QLFT) through the use of bitrex or saccharine, completion of a medical evaluation, and proper use of the mask (cleaning, storing, inspecting, donning/doffing, use of glasses/goggles with mask, seal checks, cartridge/filter replacement and other limitations). Fit testing is required for both students and employees working in a clinical setting as well as those who are unable to maintain social distancing requirements under current COVID-19 prevention strategies. Fit testing shall be conducted prior to initial use of the tight fitting respirator and annually thereafter (see validation period below for additional requirements). Pass/Fail results will be scanned and submitted to the supervisor of the individual and each department is responsible for maintaining those records. Those who are seeing patients virtually are exempt from wearing a tight fitting respirator. EHSRM will refer individuals who are unable to taste either testing medium (bitrex/saccharine) to local clinic for quantitative fit testing (QNFT). EHSRM will not perform fit testing on students/employees who have facial hair that comes between the sealing surface of the mask and the face.
Length of training: 30 minutes.
Validation Period: 1 year. Additional fit testing is required when switching to a different make/model of mask or if changes in physical condition that could affect the fit such as facial scarring, dental changes, cosmetic surgery or an obvious change in body weight are observed.
Sign-Up: Email Michelle.Guglielmo@utrgv.edu with your UTRGV email, department, and supervisor to request a mask fitting or contact Laura De Jesus, Respiratory Protection Program Manager, for more information.
