In line with HSE guidance INDG479, Face Fit Testing should be part of selecting tight-fitting respiratory protection for each person 😷

Changing masks and even changes to your face can all affect the seal. The HSE recommends carrying out fit testing as part of the initial RPE selection process. 📋🫁

📋 Take a look at HSE’s guidance: https://www.hse.gov.uk/respiratory-protective-equipment/basics.htm

Once an employee successfully passes a test, the same make, model, type and size of facepiece should be made available for them to use. If an employee uses more than one type of tight-fitting facepiece, each should be fit tested.

We offer Face Fit Testing in the classroom or at your workplace. Get in touch and we’ll get you booked in! 👷
