OSHA Respirator Fit Testing

Respirator Fit Testing Methods

There are two methods to perform a proper fit test. 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 has been used for many years, and it is quick to administer and lower in cost than quantitative fit-testing. When done properly, it is very accurate and an acceptable means for fit testing half-face masks and N95 Masks.

 

With the advent of Quantitative fit-testing equipment in recent years came verifiable documented results. Onsite Medical Service owns (3) Occupational Health Dynamics Quantitative Fit Testing Machines that have been proven reliable, accurate, and faster than the alternative method using the OSHA-accepted Re-Don protocol. This is the method that should be used on Full Face Respirators.

 

The OSHA-respiratory-fit-testing service from Onsite Medical Service is ideal for a wide collection of devices such as supplied air respirators, dust masks, half-face masks, full-face masks, (SCBA) Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus, and many others.
