Dear Employer:

Your establishment has been selected to help the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) understand how employees are using respirators and other respiratory devices in the workplace. This is the final reminder for your establishment to complete this important survey. We have also sent an email to you with this information. It is important to complete this survey even if workers do not currently use respirators or other devices.

Your participation will help determine how the COVID-19 pandemic affected the use of respirators and other respiratory devices, identify effective use of respirators, and develop effective education materials.

We are conducting the 2022 Survey of Respirator Use and Practices (SRUP) for informational purposes only and the results will not be used in any type of enforcement activity. All responses will remain confidential and be used only for statistical purposes only. Participation is voluntary.

Complete your survey as soon as possible by following the instructions enclosed with this letter.

Thank you for your help with this important survey.

Sincerely,

Marika Litras

Assistant Commissioner
Office of Safety, Health, and Working Conditions
