Taste and smell-based fit testing, known as qualitative fit testing, relies on the wearer detecting specific test agents such as:
Each of these checks for leaks in the mask’s seal.
Instrument-based fit testing, called quantitative fit testing, uses specialized equipment to measure the number of particles leaking into the respirator, providing an objective assessment of fit that does not depend on the wearer’s senses.
Onboarding: Users receive instruction on proper mask usage, donning and doffing, maintenance, and seal checks. This helps prevent operational errors and increases overall safety.
Documentation and Certification: We supply fit test certificates and maintain records, making it easy for employers to verify compliance and respond to audits or inspections.
Ongoing Support: We help ensure continuous protection and compliance.
