A fit test is conducted to determine whether a respirator can be donned without risking any leaks. It can only be taken by an employee once they have been medically approved to wear a respirator on the job. If an employee’s job responsibilities require them to wear a tight-fitting respirator, they must undergo a respirator fit test beforehand. The test must be done using the same size, model, and design of the respirator they’ll be wearing on the job.

There are two types of respirator fit tests:

Qualitative Fit Test: This is a non-numeric test that depends on the wearer’s sense of smell and taste, or their reaction to a test agent (a substance) to detect any leakage into their respirator’s facepiece.

Quantitative Fit Test: A machine is used in this test to measure the leakage into the facepiece.

At Professional Fit Testing Services, we use the Qualitative Fit Test only.

Please note: Prior to the respirator fit test, you must provide the respirator clearance questionnaire to your employee who is required to wear the respirator at their job. This ensures that the said employee is medically capable to do so.
