German term

Atemschutzträger

German to English Tech/Engineering Petroleum Eng/Sci safety measures
From a HSE Sicherheitshandbuch issued by firm carrying out pipework installations at refineries:
Spezielle Ausbildungen – Anforderungen an Projektpersonal: Atemschutzträger - Qualifikation = Vorsorgeuntersuchung, Nachweis über Atemschutzübung, Brandschutzbeauftragter Qualifikation = Schulung

Person authorized to use protective breathing apparatus – is there a specific term for this. LEO tentatively suggests “draegerman”

Bernd Runge Nov 27, 2009:
respirator An estimated 5 million workers are required to wear respirators in 1.3 million workplaces throughout the United States. Respirators protect workers against insufficient oxygen environments, harmful dusts, fogs, smokes, mists, gases, vapors, and sprays. These hazards may cause cancer, lung impairment, other diseases, or death.
Compliance with the OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard could avert hundreds of deaths and thousands of illnesses annually.
