Face fit testing is a process used to verify that a facepiece or mask fits securely and forms a proper seal on the wearer’s face. The effectiveness of tight-fitting facepieces relies on maintaining constant contact between the wearer’s skin and the mask's seal. A poor fit can greatly diminish the level of protection offered, potentially leading to both immediate and long-term health issues.
Employers are legally obligated to conduct face fit testing for all employees who use tight-fitting respirators, including dust masks or full-face respirators. It is essential that employers offer appropriate face fit testing services and provide clear instructions on the correct use of protective equipment. Additionally, employers must ensure staff are trained to identify respiratory hazards and understand the proper procedures for wearing respirators, particularly when a risk assessment has highlighted the need for such protection.
