Respirator Fit Testing is required by OSHA (29 CFR 1910.134) for any employee who must wear a tight-fitting respirator in the workplace. The test ensures that the respirator creates a proper seal on the employee's face, providing the intended level of protection against airborne hazards.
There are two types of fit testing: qualitative (pass/fail using taste or smell) and quantitative (using instruments to measure leakage). The type required depends on the respirator being used and the level of protection needed.
Fit testing must be performed before initial use, when a different respirator is used, and at least annually thereafter. BlueHive coordinates fit testing services to help employers maintain OSHA compliance.

DOL Cancels 2026 Civil Penalty Inflation Adjustment — OSHA Maximum Penalties Stay at 2025 Levels (91 FR 31358)
mediumFor the first time since annual adjustments began under the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015, the Department of Labor will make no inflation adjustment to its civil monetary penalties for 2026 — OSHA maximum penalties remain at 2025 levels. The Bureau of Labor Statistics did not publish October 2025 CPI-U data because of the appropriations lapse, and the statute permits no alternative calculation, so OMB memorandum M-26-11 directed agencies to continue applying 2025 penalty amounts. The Department plans a thorough review of its civil penalties in 2027.
