Face Fit Testing

Face Fit Testing for Industry: If your job requires you to wear RPE, under Regulation INDG479 of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, you must prove that mask fits the wearer.

The only way to do this is by undertaking a Face Fit Test.

The test takes around 20 minutes and involves the wearer undertaking various actions to simulate working with the mask. This puts the seal under pressure and shows us whether the Mask fits, or not.

The far most common factor of mask failure is incorrect sizing and incorrect fitting. Our tester will familiarize you with how to fit, and maintain your RPE, as well as provide you with all the required documentation on successful completion of the Fit Test.

Fit Test Train the Tester

We undertake Tester Training for companies wishing to undertake their own Fit Test Regime, this is an extremely cost-effective solution when your business has many RPE requirements.

During these times, we understand that companies simply cannot keep to the same RPE Type due to shortages in global demand, every time you change your RPE, the law requires the new mask must be Fit Tested.
