What happens during a respirator fit test?
The user will be asked to wear a test respirator while performing a series of movements, which determines if the respirator is properly sealing to the user's face.
The purpose of these exercises is to simulate movements that may be undertaken during work, thus ensuring that leakage does not occur.
The fit testing technician will also assess whether the respirator is causing any discomfort or breathing difficulty, since user comfort is a key component in ensuring respirator fit.
At the conclusion of the test, the technician will communicate to the wearer whether they have achieved a pass on the respirator, based on their fit factor score.
