Respirator fit-test program (N95 / P100, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134), how does the Magento module work?
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 mandates annual fit-testing for any employee wearing tight-fitting respirators, N95 (filtering facepiece), P100 (elastomeric half/full-face), PAPR (powered air-purifying). The standard requires: medical evaluation first, then qualitative (QLFT, saccharin / Bitrex) or quantitative (QNFT, PortaCount / OHD Quantifit) fit-test, retest annually or whenever facial weight changes > 10%.
The Magento custom module I ship:
- Per-employee fit-test record, custom entity tied to corporate-account user. Stores: respirator model + size, method (QLFT / QNFT), fit-factor result (must be ≥ 100 for half-mask, ≥ 500 for full-face), test date, next-due date, tester name + certification.
- Expiration alerts at 30 / 14 / 7 days out, cron + email + dashboard widget. Healthcare safety officers + construction site supervisors get the list, not just the employee.
- Auto-reorder of same model + size when fit-test passes, the test confirms the SKU; the reorder is a one-click confirm. Cuts reorder latency from 3 weeks to 2 days.
- Compliance audit export, OSHA inspectors ask for the fit-test register on-site; Magento generates the CSV / PDF in two clicks.
Customers do not buy the respirator; they buy the program. 3M and Honeywell sell respirators direct; what you sell is the OSHA-audit-ready program around them. Healthcare systems, construction GCs, refineries, and manufacturing plants close on this pattern more than on price.
