Dear Employer:
Abt Associates is a research firm under contract to conduct the 2023 Survey of Respirator Use and Practices (SRUP) on behalf

aggregate results to NIOSH.

completing this survey. Only one survey needs to be filled out for your company.

Who should complete this survey? Someone knowledgeable about the use of respirators by employees in your company
should complete the survey. If you think someone else in your company knows more about respirator usage than you do, please
pass the survey instructions on to them. Complete this survey even if no workers at your company use respirators.
Note: You may log onto the survey website using your PIN at any time during the collection period to make corrections to
your data.
Is this part of an enforcement effort? NO. This survey is conducted for research and development purposes regarding
NIOSH’s respirator approval program only. Participation by your company is voluntary and results will not be used in any type of
enforcement activity. All responses will remain confidential and will only be used for statistical purposes.
