Why Perform A Fit Test?

If you provide respiratory protective equipment (RPE) to your employees then it is essential that you have documentary evidence to show the RPE fits the wearer. By subjecting each wearer to a face-fit test you can be sure that your organisation is fulfilling the requirements laid out in the Health & Safety Executives (HSE) guidance note be INDG 479 & HSG53.

Course Content:

This course is for trainees who want to undertake their own face fit testing programme.

The training includes:

Background to Face Fit Testing
Legislation and Guidance, INDG 479 & HSG53
Set-up of Equipment
The Sensitivity Test
Fit Test Protocols
Pass Levels
Practical face fit testing
Troubleshooting & Problem Solving
Fit Test Failures and Re-Tests
Planning & Managing a Fit Testing Program
Please note: that RPE should be selected, maintained and used by trained and competent people, itis the employers responsibility to ensure compliance with this.

Please note: even though these training courses are referred to as “train the trainer” they are only to provide training to allow the attendees to conduct Qualitative face fit testing, not to enable them to teach the subject themselves.

Assessment:

Delegates will be required to participate in several fit testing scenario’s set by the trainer using a variety of Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE). This will also include a short verbal test for troubleshooting and identifying reasons for failure of a face fit test.
