FAQ

Who needs face fit testing?

Everyone using close-fitting respiratory protection devices, such as respirators or compressed air breathing apparatus, should undergo a face fit test. Why invest in top-notch respiratory protective gear only to risk its effectiveness by not ensuring a proper fit for the wearer?

Why is face fit testing essential?

Face fit testing guarantees that the protective mask chosen is the right fit for your facial structure, enhancing its efficiency against dangerous airborne elements. Recent studies reveal that nearly half of the Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) used doesn’t provide the expected protection level, primarily because it doesn’t fit properly.

What are the legal requirements for face fit testing?

The guidelines provided by COSHH, CLaW, and CAW endorse face fit testing as a means to guarantee an effective face seal. If face fit testing isn’t conducted, the HSE has the authority to take legal action. However, legal repercussions can be avoided if one can demonstrate that their procedures either match or surpass the face fit testing standards outlined in the HSE guidance, OC 282/28.

How often should RPE face fit testing be conducted?

Regular face fit testing is crucial to ensure continuous protection, especially if there’s a change in the wearer’s facial features (like significant weight loss or gain, dental work, or facial surgery). It’s recommended to schedule re-tests periodically and whenever there’s a change in the type or model of the RPE used.

Are there specific masks that require face fit testing?

While all tight-fitting respiratory protection should undergo face fit testing, it’s especially vital for masks used in high-risk environments, such as those exposed to toxic chemicals, biohazards, or fine particulate matter. Regardless of the mask’s brand or type, if it’s meant to provide a tight seal on the face, it should be fit tested.

Can I be fit tested if I have facial hair?

Facial hair, such as beards, moustaches, or stubble, can compromise the seal of a tight-fitting mask. It’s required that wearers be clean-shaven in the area of the mask seal to ensure an effective fit. If shaving isn’t an option, consider using hooded or helmet-style respirators which don’t require a tight seal against the face.
