The Victorian Respiratory Protection Program was introduced to support healthcare workers protect themselves against acquiring respiratory illness by minimising the risk of exposure to respiratory hazards.
This risk mitigation includes education and training in the correct application of Respiratory Protection Equipment (RPE).
