No. An employee who is only expected to wear a NIOSH-approved escape-only respirator (i.e., a respirator that is intended to be used only for emergency exits) is not required by 29 CFR 1910.134 to complete a medical evaluation. Note that a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is not considered an escape-only respirator. If you provide employees with an SCBA, which can be used to enter atmospheres considered immediately dangerous to life and health, a medical evaluation would be required.
