Respirator Face Fitting
We provide Face Fit testing for individuals that have been medically cleared to use a respirator. A respirator can't protect you if it doesn't fit your face. It's that simple. Certain respirators, known as tight-fitting respirators, must form a tight seal with your face or neck to work properly. If your respirator doesn't fit your face properly, contaminated air can leak into your respirator facepiece, and you could breathe in hazardous substances. So before you wear a tight-fitting respirator at work, your employer must be sure that your respirator fits you. Your employer does this by having us perform a fit test on you while you wear the same make, model, and size of respirator that you will be using on the job. We also teach proper donning and doffing plus maintenance of your new equipment. After the fit testing/training you will know how your respirator fits you properly and can protect you, as long as you use and care for it correctly.
Only Full face and Half Face testing provided at this time using Smoke - Stannic Chloride.
Copy of the medical surveillance form must be provided prior to fitting.
