LUNG HEALTH
Respirator (Mask) Fit Testing
ABOUT
Respirator Fit testing (aka mask-fit testing) safeguards employee lung health by ensuring workers are wearing properly sized and sealed respiratory protective equipment, that no leaks are occurring, and that particulates are being sufficiently filtered.
Quantitative vs. Qualitative Respirator Fit Testing
Quantitative Respirator Fit Testing
This is considered the “gold standard”. Using a Portacount machine, SureHire measures the amount of leakage into the respirator. The measurement is taken while the worker performs dynamic movements and breathing exercises resembling those experienced on the job site.
Qualitative Respirator Fit TestinG
Qualitative Mask Fit Testing relies on the worker’s sensory response to determine if there is a leak in the respirator seal. While wearing the respirator, the worker will be exposed to one or more testing agents. Results are based on whether or not the employee reacts to the substance, such as coughing or by detecting a taste or smell.
