Who Needs Quantitative Fit Testing?
Â
Quantitative fit testing is essential for workers in industries requiring respiratory protection, including construction, manufacturing, healthcare, and hazardous material handling. Employers must ensure their teams are equipped with respirators that provide a secure and reliable fit to safeguard against airborne contaminants.
Why Is Fit Testing Important?
Â
Fit testing ensures that respirators create a proper seal on the user’s face, preventing exposure to harmful dust, fumes, gases, or biological hazards. OSHA requires annual fit testing (per 29 CFR 1910.134) to comply with workplace safety standards, minimize liability, and protect workers' health. Additionally, fit testing is critical when introducing new respirator models or when an employee’s physical condition changes.
Â
How Often Should You Schedule a Test?
Â
- An employee changes their respirator model or size.
- Significant weight changes, dental work, or other facial structure changes occur.
- New hazards arise in the work environment.
