The purpose of this medical assessment for respirator use is to confirm your ability to wear required respiratory equipment and to ensure compliance with applicable legislative requirements. Personal information collected will be interpreted by Newalta’s health care provider. The health care provider may disclose your personal information to a physician or to another health care provider. Following assessment the health care provider will determine whether you can carry out the functions required by the employment position and whether any accommodations to respirator use should be made by your employer.
Please note that the asterisk (*) indicates a response is required.
