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.
