Respirator fit testing is crucial for employees to ensure that their
masks provide an effective seal, preventing the inhalation of harmful
substances. This safeguards their respiratory health and contributes to
a safe work environment, especially in industries where exposure to
airborne contaminants is a concern.
The importance of fit testing
Fit testing is performed to check the seal around tight fitting respirators to ensure you are receiving the masks full intended protection. Quantitative fit testing is the most reliable objective method of fit testing and is considered the gold standard.
Our fit test operators are trained in the correct use of testing equipment and protocols to ensure reliable and objective test results for employees.
Fit testing is conducted in reference to fit test protocols in AS/NZS 1715, OSHA 1910.134 and ISO 16975-3.
