Why Face Fit Test?
Legal Requirement
It is a legal requirement under COSHH regulations that tight-fitting RPE must be fit-tested by a competent person.
Misfit Masks
Research indicates that up to 50% of all RPE used does not offer the wearer the level of protection assumed because it does not fit! (Source BSIF)
Why Fit2Fit?
“In preparing the Fit2Fit RPE fit testers accreditation scheme, BSIF and other industry stakeholders have worked closely with the experts in Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Following this scheme is not compulsory and employers are free to take other action to comply with the law. But if you follow this scheme, you will be doing enough to demonstrate good practice.” (HSE Statement)
Test costs vary depending on number of candidates.
