Qualitative Face Fit Test

Description

A face fit test is a simple test which checks whether a person's mask fits their face shape
and size. When worn correctly RPE (respiratory protective equipment) should protect the wearer from
airborne hazards (particulates, dusts, gases etc). As people come in all sorts of shapes and
sizes it is unlikely that one particular type or size of RPE face piece will fit everyone. A face
fit test will help ensure that the RPE selected is suitable for the wearer. Our testing regime will ensure that customers are aware of the following: Use equipment that fits their face.
Understand how to maintain their equipment where re-usable masks are used.
Understand limitations of the testing regime.
Understand where re-testing will be required and why If no dates are available please call the team on 01782 438813 for available dates.
