Respirator Fit Testing Services & Methods
There are two methods to perform a proper fit test, including OSHA respirator fit tests. One way is qualitative, and this involves placing a hood over the employee wearing a respirator and entering an easy-to-taste concentrated atomized solution into the air around the mask. Qualitative testing, a crucial aspect of OSHA fit testing, has been used for many years, and it is quick to administer and lower in cost than quantitative fit testing equipment. When done properly, OSHA fit testing using the qualitative method is very accurate and an acceptable means for fit testing half-face masks and N95 Masks.

Keep Your Workforce Safe & Healthy On The Job with Qualitative-Fit-Test
Respirator fit testing is a critical process to ensure the safety and health of your workforce. Qualitative fit testing is a method that relies on the wearer’s senses, such as taste and smell, to detect air leakage from the respirator. This pass/fail method is used on half-masks and is an essential part of the respiratory protection program.
Importance of Qualitative Fit Testing
Employee Safety: Ensuring that employees wear properly fitted respirators is crucial for their safety on the job, especially in environments with hazardous dusts, sprays, or gases.
Regulatory Compliance: OSHA requires qualitative or quantitative fit testing before a user wears a mandatory respirator on the job, and it must be assessed at least annually.
OSHA Guidelines and Protocols
The OSHA-accepted fit test protocols provide complete instructions for conducting qualitative fit tests. These protocols must be followed to ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
