RESP-FIT is a national respirator protective equipment (RPE) fit testing training and accreditation program developed to improve the competency of fit testers.
The objective of RESP-FIT is to improve worker health protection of those wearing tight fitting respiratory protective equipment.
The benefit to you:
AS/NZS 1715:2009 selection, use and maintenance of respiratory protective equipment states that the proper fitting of respiratory protective equipment requires the use of some type of fit test to determine an adequate match between the facepiece of the RPE and face of the wearer.
A respirator fit test should be adopted as a routine when any close fitting RPE is being worn. A facial fit test should be conducted as per below.
We are able to provide in house respirator fit testing in QLD, NSW and VIC or onsite respirator fit testing Australia wide. We use the Quantitative method using a TSI portacount respirator fit tester which eliminates the guesswork associated with qualitative fit test methods. Passing a Quantitative fit test proves that the respirator is sized correctly, the person is competent in donning the respirator and the user comfort is assessed
Upon passing a fit test the person is issued with a fit test report and printed fit test card which states name, ID number, date of test, next test due, mask tested on and the overall fit factor.
We have a wide variety of respirators from disposable, half face and full face and can conduct a fit test using a respirator from all the leading brands. These include: Sundstrom, Scott Safety, 3M, Moldex, Honeywell, ProChoice and all brands of P2 disposables.
The attendee must not eat, smoke, drink coffee or chew gum for at least 1 hour prior to the test being completed. Doing so may lead to excess waiting times.
