RESPIRATOR FIT TESTING

OSHA requires that fit testing and respirator training be conducted annually for all persons required to use respiratory protection. Persons who use respirators also must be medically cleared. OSHA requires that full face respirators be fit tested quantitatively if they are to be used to their full assigned protection factor. All positive pressure face-pieces must be fit tested in a negative pressure configuration. This is a new requirement, previously supplied air users did not have to fit test.

Our clinic located in Oak Ridge, TN provides the necessary respirator training and testing to meet the OSHA requirements.
