Fit testing for respiratory masks ensures that the mask fits securely to prevent airborne contaminants from leaking in. The main method:
1. **Qualitative Fit Testing**: Involves the wearer detecting a test agent (like a bitter or sweet solution) sprayed near the mask.
**Procedure**:
- Prepare the wearer by ensuring a clean-shaven face.
- Conduct a user seal check.
- Follow a standardized protocol including normal breathing and head movements.
- Evaluate results to determine if the respirator provides a proper fit.
Documentation of results and periodic retesting are crucial for maintaining safety and effectiveness in hazardous environments.
At the end of the test you will receive a certification that is good for 1 year to date.
