Respirator Quantitative Fit Test Description: An assessment of the adequacy of respirator fit by numerically measuring the amount of leakage into the respirator. Equipment is used to measure the concentration of a substance in ambient air to the concentration inside the respirator when worn. A respiratory fit test is needed to determine the proper match between the facepiece of the respirator and the face of the user.
Note: OSHA requires employees that are exposed to a concentration of an airborne contaminant that would be hazardous to their safety or health, to use respiratory protection and pass a respirator fit test before use of a respirator.

Who Should Attend: Required for employees who use respirators for protection from atmospheric hazards initially and annually. 

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

Medical Certificate Requirements: Participants must bring their current Medical Certificate for Respirator Use which they will have received after completing a Medical Questionnaire or Evaluation. Should you need assistance with medical clearance we recommend that you contact your local occupational medicine clinic or visit  3M Online Respirator Medical Evaluation. 

Personal Respirator Requirements: Participants must bring their own respirator for fit testing. Respirator sharing is not permissible under the law. Please ensure respirators are clean and in like new condition with no damage. If we will be conducting an initial respirator fit test the employer will need to provide a supply of respirators in all sizes & P100 cartridges for each respirator. 
Note: We are prepared to conduct quantitative respirator fit testing on 3M and North manufactured reusable half-mask or full-face respirators.  Any other brand of respirator must be indicated by Make & Model of the respirator prior to scheduling to ensure we have the correct adaptor for the TSI PortaCount.

Respirator Seal Requirements: The test shall not be conducted if there is any hair growth between the skin and the facepiece sealing surface, such as stubble beard growth, beard, mustache, or sideburns which cross the respirator sealing surface. If the participant currently has regular facial hair growth, they will need to be clean shaven prior to prepare for fit test. 

Personal Protective Equipment: Fit test should be performed while the participant is wearing safety equipment that may could interfere with respirator fit during actual respirator use. We recommend participants bring their other personal protective equipment including a hard hat, eye wear, face shield, welding hood, spray sock, coveralls, etc.
