In order to participate in the Respirator Fit Test Clinic, you must have completed "Respirator User Screening Questionnaire" AND "EHS Respiratory Protection Program Training" online or in-person as required by the Respiratory Protection Program.
The Respirator Fit Test Clinic is intended for all personnel who are required to wear respiratory protection and for those who have concerns about respiratory hazards in the workplace. In order to provide adequate protection, a respirator must be suited to the hazard, properly fitted, worn correctly, and properly stored and maintained. EHS personnel will provide assistance in the selection of the appropriate respiratory protection, perform fit testing, and provide training on the use, care and maintenance of your respirator.
According to our Respiratory Protection Program, a fit test shall be performed at least every two years. It shall not be performed unless the person undergoing the test is clean shaven where the facepiece seals to the skin. Fit tests are required for all tight-fitting respirators including disposable respirators and reusable respirators, and a separate fit test is required for each different model and size of respirator.
Please bring your respirator with you.
