Comprehensive Fit Testing In Clinic Or At Your Workplace
Mask and Ear Fit testing is an important preventative service required for employees wearing tight-fitting respirators, such as disposable or reusable respirators and/or earplugs and earmuffs.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is only effective if they are properly fitted and sealed, therefore appropriate testing is essential for protecting workers from hazardous airborne substances such as dust, silica, fumes, and vapours or to offer adequate noise reduction.
Respirator fit testing and training is mandatory in many industries and employers are responsible for ensuring a suitable test is carried out for all users of respiratory protective equipment at least annually.
At RediMed, we provide professional quantitative fit testing services to protect your workers that can be included in your pre-employment medical assessments or as part of your ongoing health monitoring program.
Why Is Fit Testing Important?
Ensuring your workers have a correctly fitted respirator and any other PPE is critical in preventing exposure to airborne contaminants or excessive noise. A mask that does not seal properly can compromise the health and safety of your workers. We also understand the conditions workers face across a number of industries including mining, construction, manufacturing and healthcare, and fit testing is just one step to ensuring workplace safety.
