What is respirator fit testing?

Created by Michal Wochna, Modified on Tue, 30 May, 2017 at 2:18 PM by Michal Wochna

Respirator fit testing is performed to check that a tight fitting face piece (full-face mask, half-face mask, or disposable mask) matches the wearer's facial features and seals adequately to the wearer's face so that it reduces exposure to hazard as low as is reasonably practicable and to an acceptable level (below any applicable Occupational Exposure Limits or Control Limits).
