Respirator Fit Tests

If you run a business that requires employees to wear a tight-fitting respirator, OSHA regulations mandate that each employee must receive a respirator fit test before they wear one for the first time, and annually after that. However, because there are different types of respirator fit test, it can be confusing to know which one an employee needs. This infographic highlights the differences between a Qualitative Respirator Fit Test and a Quantitative Respirator Fit Test. It also describes the way both tests are done, and what your employees can expect from either a Quantitative or Qualitative Respirator fit test.
