When workers rely on respiratory protective equipment (RPE), a proper fit is essential. A mask that doesn't seal correctly can leave employees exposed to hazardous dust, fumes, fibres, and airborne contaminants.
At Apex Health & Safety, we provide professional face fit testing services that help businesses meet legal requirements and protect their workforce.
Whether you need testing for one employee or an entire workforce, we deliver a reliable and efficient service throughout Edinburgh and surrounding areas.
What is Face Fit Testing?
Face Fit Testing is the process of checking that a tight fitting respirator or face mask forms an effective seal against the wearers face. Even the highest quality respiratory protective equipment can fail if it does not fit correctly.
The HSE requires employers to ensure that workers using tight fitting RPE undergo face fit testing to confirm the selected mask is suitable for the individual wearer.
Why is Face Fit Testing Important?
An incorrectly fitted mask can allow hazardous airborne contaminants to bypass the filter and be inhaled by the wearer.
Face fit testing helps to:
-
Protect wearers from dust, fumes, fibres, vapours and airborne contaminants.
-
Meet HSE and COSHH requirements.
-
Reduce the risk of occupational illnesses.
-
Improve employee confidence and comfort.
-
Demonstrate compliance during inspections and audits.
