On Sept. 5, 2014, NIOSH NPPTL will observe its third annual N95 Day campaign. N95 Day is a time to recognize the importance of respiratory protection in the workplace and familiarize yourself with the resources available to help you and your employer make educated decisions when selecting and wearing a respirator.

As part of the N95 Day activities, NIOSH NPPTL will offer a webinar on "Respirator Preparedness in Healthcare: Where Technology Meets Good Practices." For more information about this webinar, including registration, visit:
