“Shrink it and pink it” was never the solution.

Most respirators are still designed around male facial dimensions, leaving many women cycling through options just to pass a fit test.

Join Stephanie Lynch, PhD, CIH, CSP, and Y. Precious Diaz, MPH, for a candid conversation on what’s changing in respirator design, standards, and fit testing, and what’s actually working to improve fit and protection.

We’ll cover why traditional design falls short (it’s not just about size), what’s evolving across standards, product design, and fit testing approaches, and practical strategies for managing a diverse workforce.

⏰ This is your last chance to register, we’re live tomorrow!

Why is respirator fit testing required for some hazardous exposures, but not others that we already know can cause harm?

Across much of Europe, fit testing requirements focus on specific substances like asbestos or crystalline silica, yet workers are exposed to many other inhalation hazards every day.

Our latest blog explores the growing testing gap in European respiratory protection and why a more consistent, risk-based approach deserves attention.

When it comes to respiratory protection, one size has never fit all, but for too long, the industry has acted like it does. Most respirators are still designed around male facial dimensions, leaving many women cycling through multiple models just to find one that passes a fit test.

Today is World Hearing Day, a reminder of the importance of protecting our hearing and preventing avoidable hearing loss. 👂

In the workplace, accurate noise and vibration monitoring is essential for identifying risk, supporting compliance efforts, and building effective hearing conservation programs. When you can measure it, you can manage it.

SVANTEK’s sound and vibration meters provide the data safety professionals need to make informed decisions and protect their workforce with confidence.
