Data analysis was performed using SPSS/WIN 23.0. The analysis was conducted to identify differences in job satisfaction and awareness of respirators according to general characteristics and job characteristics related to respirators. t-test, ANOVA, and correlation analysis were used. Multiple regression analysis was used for factors affecting respirator recognition. Results: The factors influencing the subject's recognition of respirators were job satisfaction (t=2.54, p=.012), experience of participating in safety and health education instructors (t=-3.12, p=.002), and participation in the selection of suitability for personal protective equipment (t=2.49, p=.013), and conducted a respirator fit test (t=-1.34, p=.040) (F=5.107, p=<.001). Conclusion: In workplaces using respirators, it is necessary to support the legal work of health managers and increase job satisfaction, and efforts to raise recognition of respirators are needed.
