  <title><![CDATA[  Abbreviated Bitrex[supreg] Qualitative Fit-Testing Protocol]]></title>

  <description><![CDATA[ OSHA is proposing to include the protocol for the abbreviated 
Bitrex[supreg] qualitative fit test (``ABQLFT'') in its Respiratory 
Protection Standard; the proposed protocol would apply to employers in 
general industry, shipyard employment, and the construction industry. 
The proposed ABQLFT protocol consists of seven exercises described in 
the existing Bitrex[supreg] qualitative fittesting protocol specified 
in OSHA's Respiratory Protection Standard. However, each of the 
exercises in the proposed ABQLFT protocol lasts 15 seconds, compared to 
60 seconds for exercises in the existing Bitrex[supreg] qualitative 
fittesting protocol. This proposal describes the test sensitivity, 
predictive value of a pass, test specificity, and predictive value of a 
fail for the ABQLFT protocol, and requests the public to comment on 
whether this evidence supports OSHA including the ABQLFT in the 
Respiratory Protection Standard.
