About our Courses

On-site Face Fit Testing:  It is a requirement of Health and Safety legislation that any person required to wear a close-fitting face mask for their work, is fit-tested to ensure that the mask provides the required level of protection.  Although this is important in the construction industry it is also relevant for many other working environments where employees may come into contact with harmful dust, vapours and gases. 

Why Get Training?

Our accredited On site Face Fit Testing course

When it comes to Face Fit Testing, two approved approaches are available: qualitative and quantitative. Each of these methods has their own advantages and considerations. Qualitative Face Fit Testing, for instance, is a subjective assessment for disposable or reusable half mask respirators. It involves a simple taste test, relying on the honest response from the test subject to determine the effectiveness of the respirator. On the other hand, the quantitative Face Fit Testing method is suitable for all types of respirators, including full-face and half masks. 

The assessment uses a particle counter; this is an impartial examination, and no feedback from the test subject is taken into account. The machine decides the success or failure of the test.

It is essential that employers take the necessary steps to ensure that employees are adequately protected from potentially dangerous intoxicants, which can cause serious health problems if inhaled or ingested. Employers should provide appropriate safety equipment and personal protective equipment, as well as ensure that employees receive proper training on how to use and maintain the safety equipment to protect themselves from respiratory issues. This is where our On site Face Fit Testing is important to keeping your business within regulations.
