Product Description
Each type of respirator has a distinct fit, making it unsuitable for everyone. Hence, OSHA mandates that fit testing be conducted for all disposable half-mask and full-face respirators, as well as tight-fitting supplied air face pieces, using an approved fit test method. You can accomplish this by utilizing one of the test kits provided on this webpage. Qualitative fit testing involves introducing a harmless, odorous, or irritating substance (such as smoke, saccharin, or Bitrex) into the vicinity of the respirator being worn. If no odor or irritation is detected, it indicates a properly fitted respirator.
