What is Fit Testing?
An OSHA-required annual test to ensure tight-fitting respirators seal properly to an individual's face.

The purpose
To verify respirators achieve expected protection by testing the face-to-facepiece seal
Who needs it
Employees required to use tight-fitting respirators as part of their job duties
