KITCHENER Another local company has scaled back production on respirators because they have products sitting in storage while they wait for certification. We are sitting on tens of thousands of respirators that we really want to desperately get out to people, O2 Industries CEO Richard Szasz said. The Kitchener-based company has donated 5,000 respirators to front-line health-care workers. That s in an effort to really try to help, because they aren t allowed to buy the product through procurement at work, Szasz said. The company is waiting for certification to be able to sell the respirators as medical devices. Szasz said they applied to Health Canada and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) a year ago.
