Respirator Fit Testing (Qualitative Fit Testing)

As outlined in the CSA Z94.4 Respiratory Standard, certain working conditions require workers to utilize tight fitting respirators.  Employers are required to provide workers with the proper equipment and ensure that the respirators are properly fitted to provide protection.

Intola Safety can administer Qualitative Fit Testing to ensure that a tight seal is achieved when workers use their respirators.

• Qualitative Fit Testing is a fast, efficient, and offers a cost effective method of testing.
• It is often more practical for testing large groups.
• A respirator is donned and an aerosolized challenge agent contained within a large hood is utilized to determine proper fit and seal.
