To comply with the law and for close-fitting Respiratory Protection Equipment (RPE) to be effective, it needs to fit the user's face and provide a proper seal. If you or your employees wear close-fitting RPE then you need a face fit test!
Ensuring Proper Fit through Qualitative Face Fit Testing
Given the diverse range of facial shapes, it becomes imperative to subject the provided Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) to rigorous testing to ascertain its efficacy in delivering suitable protection to the wearer. For close-fitting RPE, such as dust masks, the definitive method of validation is the utilization of face fit testing. We specialize in offering Qualitative (QLT) face fit testing, tailored to accommodate half-face mask RPE and disposable face masks.
Proficiency in RPE Face Fit Testing
Becoming a Certified Face Fit Tester - For an assured process of fit testing, we advocate the completion of an endorsed fit2fit training course. 1974 Rapport Ltd presents comprehensive training programs designed to educate individuals in the techniques of conducting a qualitative face fit test. These courses encompass both internal certification routes and more extensive fit2fit-approved "train the tester" options, widely accessible throughout the nation. A roster of adept, fit2fit accredited trainers and supplementary resources can be found at www.fit2fit.org, where 1974 Rapport Ltd holds a prominent position.

Compulsion of Face Fit Testing - Legally mandated for those donning closely-fitted respiratory protective equipment (RPE), such as "dust masks," face fit testing carries significant importance. According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), a considerable portion of the UK's annual tally of 12,000 work-related respiratory disease-related deaths could have been averted with the correct specification and fitting of RPE.
Obligation for Face Fit Testing - Compliance with the CoSHH Regulations 2002, PPE Regulations 1992, as well as HSG53 and INDG479, dictates that close-fitting RPE must offer adequacy and suitability. Face fit testing stands as the sole means of ensuring this crucial requirement.
Understanding Face Fit Testing - There exist two prevailing approaches to face fit testing: the Qualitative method and the Quantitative method. The Qualitative method, commonly referred to as the "taste test," is highly applicable to both reusable and disposable half-face RPE, providing protection against particulates.
Requisite for Face Fit Testing - Any respirator characterized by a snug fit, encompassing FFP3 masks, reusable half-face, or full-face respirators, warrants face fit testing if a risk assessment determines the need for close-fitting RPE.
Shaving Prerequisite for Face Fit Testing - Notably, any form of stubble, facial hair, beards, goatees, or mustaches that come into contact with the face seal region can substantially compromise the efficacy of tightly fitting RPE. It is imperative that RPE wearers be clean-shaven during the testing procedure and also during practical mask usage.
Authorised Personnel for Face Fit Testing - The responsibility of conducting a face fit test rests with a "competent person." INDG479 outlines 14 essential criteria that this individual should possess: training, extensive knowledge, and practical experience. Recognising this, the British Safety Industry Federation (BSIF), endorsed by HSE, acknowledges the designation of a "fit2fit" accredited face fit tester as a testament to competence.

Health and safety training is crucial in construction due to the high risk of accidents and injuries in the industry. It ensures workers are aware of potential hazards and know how to handle them safely.
Training often includes general safety practices, equipment handling, first aid, hazard recognition, and emergency response. Specific training may be required for high-risk activities like working at heights or handling hazardous materials.
In many jurisdictions, there are legal requirements for health and safety training in the construction industry. These regulations are designed to protect workers and reduce the risk of accidents.
Regular updates are necessary, typically annually, or when new regulations, equipment, or hazards are introduced.
Employers in the construction industry are usually responsible for providing adequate training to their employees. In some cases, third-party organisations may be utilised for specialised training.
Lack of proper training can lead to increased accidents and legal consequences for employers. Workers may also be at a higher risk of injury or fatality.
Some aspects of health and safety training can be conducted online, but practical, hands-on training is often necessary, especially for equipment handling and emergency procedures.
Training is often role-specific, addressing the unique risks and responsibilities of different positions within the construction industry.
