The Safety Of Your Team Matters
Protect them with our Quantatative Fit Test
Fit testing plays a pivotal role in ensuring that respiratory protective equipment (RPE) provides an effective seal against airborne contaminants. In order for a disposable or reusable respirator to provide the intended protection, it must seal tightly to the wearer’s face.
Ensuring this process is the standard AS/NZS1715:2009 which states that fit testing is required before a user wears a respirator on the job. Once proven to be compliant, fit tests should be performed annually thereafter.

Why book a respirator fit test?
Booking a quantitative fit test should be part of the scheduled routine when any tight-fitting respirator is being worn. Conducting a facial fit test should be part of the best practice process when:
Once the quantitative fit test is completed, the wearer is issued with a pass certificate report. The report of a successful pass will be emailed to both the mask wearer and the wearer's company.

What will happen on the day?
Prior to the test commencing, you will receive an overview of what is involved in the test & what the test is for, then select the respirator to be tested. You will be shown how to don the mask correctly, then asked to don the mask.
The test, which consists of the following exercises will then begin;
Each of these exercises lasts for 60 seconds except for the Grimace which lasts for 15 seconds. The Grimace is only there to break the seal of the mask, and the participant needs to re-adjust the mask to fit properly again.
What is a respirator Fit Test?
Respirators are used to protect the user from inhaling hazardous materials, including vapours, particles and fumes.
The respirator can only perform this function effectively when the seal against the wearer's face is tight and provides a protective barrier.
A respirator should be fit tested when first issued , and at least once a year thereafter (excluding other factors that could require a mask to be re-tested earlier).
Quantatative Fit Testing (QNTF)
A quantitative test relies on a Portacount machine that is attached to the respirator via a tube to complete the testing.
The quantitative test will not only detect the existence of leakage, but also measures the amount of leakage that is occurring.
Quantitative fit testing is normally the preferred option for full-face respirators and half-mask models, however, any mask can be tested this way.
