What is Fit Testing?
Fit testing checks if your respirator seals properly to your face, ensuring it effectively blocks harmful particles.
Qualitative vs. Quantitative Fit Testing
Qualitative Fit Testing
-
- Relies on your senses (taste, smell, or irritation) to detect leaks.
- Simple and subjective, but less precise.
- Commonly used for N95 or disposable masks.
Quantitative Fit Testing
- Uses advanced machines like a Portacount to measure the seal.
- Provides accurate, numeric results for tight-fitting respirators.
- Ideal for higher-risk environments requiring precision.
Which is best?
For most workplaces, quantitative fit testing offers greater accuracy and reliability, especially for tight-fitting respirators.
