About the FFT course

Respiratory protective equipment only protects if it seals — a beard, glasses or the wrong mask size turns a rated respirator into a false reassurance. This qualitative face fit test checks the actual mask against the actual face, records the result and issues a fit test record; most clients and RPE suppliers now expect a documented fit test before RPE is worn.

FFT questions

How many people can you test in a day?

It depends on access and shift patterns. Tell us numbers and location and we will plan it.

Why is face fit testing required?

Tight-fitting RPE only protects the wearer if it seals. The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations require a fit test for each wearer and mask.

How often should fit testing be repeated?

At least every two years, and sooner after significant weight change, dental work or a change of mask model.

Can you test our whole crew on site?

Yes. Testing takes around 20 to 30 minutes per person and we can work through a crew in a single visit.
