Ensuring Your RPE Seal: Face Fit Testing

Face fit testing provides critical safety checks. It ensures Respiratory Protective Equipment fits correctly. (This is often called RPE). RPE includes items like masks or respirators. An effective seal is absolutely vital always. It protects wearers from hazardous substances sadly. These substances might be airborne particles unfortunately.

UK regulations often mandate face fit testing. For example, COSHH requires it strongly usually. This protects workers from airborne hazards effectively. Workers exposed to dusts often need testing. Fumes, vapours, gases, or biological agents too. Construction workers require testing frequently too. Healthcare and manufacturing staff often need it.

Testing applies to tight-fitting RPE types mostly. Specifically these commonly used examples include:

• Disposable FFP masks (especially required for FFP3).
• Reusable half-mask respirators always need checking.
• Full-face mask respirators definitely need testing too.

We offer both main testing methods usually. Qualitative testing uses a taste/smell test typically. Quantitative testing uses particle counting machines precisely. Our testers are fully competent always trained properly. Therefore, we ensure compliant, reliable tests conducted correctly.
