Face Fit Training

Face Fit training courses focus on the correct selection and use of RPE (Respiratory Protective Equipment) for workers in environments where this is required. Employers have a legal responsibility to supply employees with RPE if a COSHH assessment of the workplace deems it necessary and must provide suitable protection if their employees are at risk of inhaling anything which could affect their health, including asbestos spores, contaminated air, chemicals, gases, other hazardous substances or when entering a confined space. 

RPE is typically only provided for short term use and in line with other control measures, for example, exhaust ventilation systems. The reason being is that RPE can lead to communication or visual issues and has proven to be uncomfortable to wear for long durations. Workers who have to use this kind of equipment must remain clean shaven in order to ensure that the masks fit closely to the skin to avoid any potential leaks. If an employee has facial hair for a religious reason, alternative forms of RPE are available.

Qualitative Face Fit Testing Training

We also offer Qualitative Face Fit Testing Training; the term “Qualitative” refers to the Qualitative Face Fit Test which a competent person will need to be trained in, in order to carry this out correctly.

  • The Qualitative Face Fit Test is a pass/fail test used to determine the seal effectiveness of a disposable half-mask.
  • It can only be carried out by someone who has been trained specifically in this method of testing and that person must have adequate training and knowledge to do this.

Qualitative Face Fit Testing training courses are suitable for those who manage the RPE in their workplace and have been assigned the responsibility for carrying out in house qualitative face fit testing on their employees/staff or are looking to begin face fitting on a commercial basis.
