Face Fit Train the Tester

Recent research indicates that up to 50% of all worn Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) does not offer the wearer the assumed level of protection, something which is often a result of their face mask not fitting properly.

Gaps between the RPE and the user’s body massively reduces efficiency, endangering the health of your employees. By correctly selecting Face Pieces which suit the individual, you can protect workers and allow them to do their jobs safely, with the confidence that they have the protection necessary to keep them healthy. You can also adhere to regulations which state that RPE must be correctly selected, which often requires a Face Piece Fit Test conducted by a trained and competent person.

Why are Face Fit Tests Important?

If you provide respiratory protective equipment (RPE) to your employees, then it is essential that you have documentary evidence to show the RPE fits the wearer correctly. By subjecting each wearer to a face-fit test, you can ensure that your organisation is fulfilling the requirements laid out in the Health & Safety Executives (HSE) guidance note HSE 282/28.
