FLEXIBLE RESPIRATOR FIT TESTING SERVICES
Whether you’re looking for a full-service respirator fit testing provider, or just want support with one aspect of the fit testing process, we can help.
ONLINE MEDICAL EVALUATIONS
Before fit testing, each person must complete and clear a medical evaluation. A medical evaluation determines if someone is able to wear a respirator without harming their health . We offer online medical evaluations, which are faster and easier than paper medical evaluations, so they streamline the respirator fit testing process.
QUALITATIVE FIT TESTING (QLFT)
A qualitative fit test relies on the user’s senses to determine if their respirator has the proper fit and seal to protect them from airborne hazards. The respirator fit tester uses a testing solution, like Bitrex or saccharin. The individual either passes or fails the test dependent on their ability to taste/not taste the test agent.
Which respirators require qualitative fit testing?
Qualitative fit testing can ONLY be used on half-face piece respirators, including:
- APR: air-purifying respirators
- FFR: filtering facepiece respirator
- EHMR: elastomeric half mask respirator
- PFR: particulate filtering respirators
- N (not resistant to oil) 95,99,100
- R (somewhat resistant to oil) 95,99,100
- P (strongly resistant to oil) 95,99,100
- HEPA (high efficiency particulate air)
QUANTITATIVE FIT TESTING (QNFT)
Quantitative fit testing uses a machine to introduce a challenge solution into the hood while the person’s mask is on. The particle concentration outside the respirator is measured against the concentration around the respirator. The ratio of these two numbers is the fit factor, and if the fit factor is below OSHA’s acceptable limit, the person is cleared to wear that mask.
Which respirators require quantitative fit testing?
Quantitative fit testing must be used for all full-face masks, and can be used to test any half-face mask, including:
- Elastomeric full facepiece respirator
- ASR: atmosphere supplying respirators
- SAR: supplied-air respirators
- SCBA: self-contained breathing apparatus
- Combination SAR/SCBA respirators
- APR: air-purifying respirators
- FFR: filtering facepiece respirator
- EHMR: elastomeric half mask respirator
- PFR: particulate filtering respirators
- N (not resistant to oil) 95,99,100
- R (somewhat resistant to oil) 95,99,100
- P (strongly resistant to oil) 95,99,100
- HEPA (high efficiency particulate air)
COMPLIANT DOCUMENT STORAGE
OSHA requires medical evaluations to be stored for each employee’s tenure plus 30 years. Respirator fit testing clearance must be stored until the next respirator fit test, which is required at least annually, so for a year. Our Respirator Fit Testing Portal handles all record storage in a HIPAA-compliant fashion, delivers test results to you in real-time, and more, making compliance easy and organized for you.
SUPPORT FOR YOUR RESPIRATORY PROTECTION PROGRAM
To be fully compliant with OSHA’s respiratory protection standard, you not only need to do medical evaluations, fit tests, and properly store the documentation, but you also need a written respiratory protection plan. Our Commonsense Guide to Respirator Fit Testing walks you through what has to be included in on. Our services also you get and maintain compliance.
