Dramatic growth has been seen in the awareness of face fit testing since its introduction to the COSHH 2002 Regulations.

Optimum performance of a close fitting respirator (disposable mask, half mask or full face mask) can only be achieved if it is established that it is fitting the operator's face properly. (This applies to equipment such as power assisted full face respirators also).

The importance of face fit testing must be matched by adequate training. All operators must be aware of the need of a good fit, as well as undergoing the actual fit test. Breathe Safety provide a comprehensive training service for those requirements.
