Description

Face Fit Testing for Individuals. Book 1 face fit test to be conducted at our premises in Knaresborough. North Yorkshire.

We use ambient particle counting devices which is the only fit tester that can quantitatively test all types of respirators.

Quantitative face fit tests are suitable for disposable half masks, re-usable half masks, gas masks, self-contained breathing apparatus, full mask respirators etc. All our testers are fit2fit accredited.

The quantitative test involves the candidate wearing a respirator of the make, model and size that they are to use in the workplace, and this is connected to a test machine that counts the particulate in the test room and the particulate within the respirator and calculates, from this information, a fit-factor.

Please note: if you use a disposable mask, the quantitative test will render the mask useless after the test as a probe has to be punched into the mask. Re-usable masks can be used after the test process as we use a special adaptor which does not damage the mask. In order to make sure we have the correct adaptor available you MUST advise of the make and model of mask. Failure to supply this information could mean that we do not have the correct adaptor available on the day to do the test and you will still be charged. 

Have more than 1 person? Or would prefer us to come to your site to conduct the tests? This is no problem. Visit our face fit testing page or contact us for price and availability for us to come to you.
