Fit Testing Requirements

If your company uses tight-fitting respiratory protective equipment (RPE) then a fit test is a legal requirement. The fit test functions to ensure the mask correctly fits the wearer’s face and therefore is able to provide its stated respiratory protection. Ill-fitting masks will not have the required tight seal and are leaky and vulnerable to bypass by contaminants. 

Mask types that require a fit test are:

• Disposable respirators (Qualitative or Quantitative test)
• Re-useable half face masks (Qualitative or Quantitative test)
• Re-useable full face masks (Quantitative test only)
