Since the implementation of COSHH 2002 fit testing of tight fitting respiratory protective devices has been a legal requirement.

We supply a high quality, professional service aimed at complimenting certified management systems (ISO9001, ISO14001 and OHSAS 18001).

No Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) can provide adequate performance if it leaks, and one of the main sources of leakage is poor fit of a mask to the face of the wearer. As a result of both field and laboratory studies into respirator performance, regulations (such as the Control of Asbestos Regulations), and general HSE guidance on the use of RPE (HSG 53, supporting the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations) require that fit testing is included as an integral part of an RPE programme for mask-based devices.
