Certain sectors and job roles require respiratory protection equipment (RPE) and it is essential to undergo a face-fit test to ensure face masks work correctly and keep people safe while working.
A face fit test ensures that a mask or respirator forms a proper seal around your face, preventing harmful substances to be inhaled. Ineffective protection could lead to the mask not fitting properly, dangerous particles leaking in, an increased risk of breathing difficulties and respiratory illnesses from inhaling dust, chemicals or airborne contaminants.
Many workplace injuries and illnesses can be prevented with proper PPE and fit testing.
Employers are legally required under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, to carry out face fit testing for their employees who need to wear a respirator to avoid inhaling dust and other harmful substances. Failure to comply with regulations will lead to fines and potentially close of business.
