Respirator Fit Tests

Respirator Fit Tests

Our Respirator Fit Testing program ensures that employees wearing tight-fitting respirators are fully protected in the workplace. In compliance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134, participants receive individualized testing to confirm that their respirator properly seals to the face. The course covers respirator selection, proper donning and doffing, user seal checks, and care and maintenance guidance.

Fit testing is available using both qualitative (taste, smell, or irritant smoke) and quantitative (instrument-measured) methods, tailored to meet the specific needs of your workplace. Employees gain hands-on experience with fit testing procedures, ensuring confidence in the correct use of their respiratory protection.

Upon completion, participants receive documentation verifying their successful fit test, helping employers maintain OSHA compliance and accurate safety records. This service enhances workplace safety by confirming that all respirators provide effective protection against airborne hazards.
