Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) only protects workers when it fits correctly, which makes face fit testing a critical part of workplace health and safety.

In our latest blog, we answer a common question we’re often asked by employers and safety professionals:

👉 𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙛𝙞𝙩 𝙩𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥?

The blog covers:
✔ Who can legally conduct face fit testing
✔ What “competent person” means in practice
✔ The training required to carry out qualitative face fit testing correctly
✔ Employer responsibilities when using tight-fitting RPE

If you’re responsible for health and safety, site compliance, or PPE provision, this guide explains what you need to know to stay compliant and protect your workforce.
