Our organization specializes in conducting respirator fit testing to ensure that all workers exposed to inhalation hazards are provided with the required fit for their respiratory protective equipment (RPE). Respirator fit testing is a critical component of respiratory protection programs, as it ensures that respirators effectively seal against the wearer’s face, preventing the inhalation of harmful airborne contaminants.

Our fit testing services encompass the following key aspects:

• Comprehensive Testing Procedures: We utilize industry-standard fit testing methods, such as qualitative and quantitative fit testing, to assess the effectiveness of respirator seals. These procedures are conducted in accordance with regulatory requirements and best practices.
• Individualized Testing: We conduct fit testing on an individual basis, taking into account the unique facial characteristics and respirator types of each worker. This ensures that the respirator provides an adequate seal for each wearer, regardless of facial size or shape.

• Variety of Respirator Types: Our fit testing services cover a wide range of respirator types, including disposable masks, half-face and full-face respirators, powered air-purifying respirators (PAPRs), and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). We ensure that the fit testing method is appropriate for the specific type of respirator being used.

• Training and Education: We provide training and education to workers on the importance of proper respirator fit and use. This includes instruction on how to properly don and doff respirators, perform user seal checks, and recognize signs of an inadequate fit.

• Documentation and Record-keeping: We maintain detailed records of fit testing results for each worker, including the type of respirator tested, the fit testing method used, and the outcome of the test. This documentation helps ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and allows for ongoing monitoring of respirator effectiveness.

By conducting respirator fit testing, our aim is to ensure that workers are adequately protected from inhalation hazards in the workplace and that their respiratory protective equipment provides the required level of fit and protection. This not only helps prevent occupational illnesses and injuries but also promotes a safe and healthy work environment for all employees.
