Mitigating respiratory conditions in the workplace is more important than ever. For workers who encounter potential hazards on the job, OSHA requires a respirator fit test be completed at least once a year, but it may also be required for a new job or after any changes in facial characteristics.

Qualitative Respirator Fit Testing is a simple and effective solution for ensuring a proper respirator fit when using an N95 or half-face respirator. Our providers are certified to carefully evaluate the seal between a respirator and the face to mitigate the occurrence of an air leak, which could compromise the safety of the worker. Per OSHA guidelines, this test is accompanied by a Respirator Medical Evaluation Questionnaire to ensure an employee is medically capable to wear a respirator.

Quantitative Respirator Fit Testing is a more thorough test which uses a computer to count the actual number of ambient particles capable of penetrating the space around a respirator. This test can be utilized for all respirator types including N95, half-face, and full-face respirators. Quantitative testing provides an objective and numeric measurement of the respirators fit. Fit test results confirm if a mask will provide the right level of on-the-job protection needed. Per OSHA guidelines, this test is also accompanied by a Respirator Medical Evaluation Questionnaire to ensure an employee is medically capable to wear a respirator.
