RESPIRATORY FIT TESTING

Respiratory Fit Testing services are available at your location or ours. STC offers both Qualitative and Quantitative Fit Testing methods. Proper mask fit is crucial in minimizing the risk of contaminates on the job. All personnel who have the potential to be exposed to contaminates are required to have fit testing performed on an annual basis in compliance with OSHA and MSHA regulations.

Qualitative Fit Testing is performed when using half-mask respirators and relies on the senses of taste and smell or reaction to an irritant to determine leakage.

Quantitative Fit Testing can be used for any type of respirator and is performed using a machine to determine the actual leakage into the facepiece.

All persons who are scheduled to have fit testing performed must be medically evaluated prior to the test date to ensure the attendee is medically able to wear the respirator. In addition, all attendees must be clean-shaven in order to undergo testing.
