This course is designed for those required to conduct face fit tests on site. It provides a comprehensive walkthrough of the face fit testing process, ensuring participants are equipped to conduct fit testing correctly, protecting workers from harmful airborne contaminants and fulfilling legal obligations.
RPE is an essential safeguard for any employee at risk of exposure to airborne contaminants. However, it cannot do the job it was meant to do unless it fits properly. Every person is unique with unique facial features. So, demonstrating that the equipment suits the user is fundamental.
Accidental exposure to airborne contaminants can lead to severe or fatal respiratory conditions, including asthma, pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer.
Our comprehensive training course addresses this critical need by providing responsible persons with the knowledge and skills to conduct proper RPE face fit testing. Participants learn step-by-step qualitative face fit testing procedures, ensuring worker safety and regulatory compliance. This helps contribute to a safer workplace and mitigate the risks associated with airborne contaminants.
As an employer, you must protect your employees from workplace hazards. This includes ensuring that RPE is adequately fitted and effective.
Key legislation you need to be aware of includes:
Failure to comply with health and safety regulations can lead to severe legal consequences, such as fines, imprisonment and disqualification and put worker health and safety at risk.
By completing this course, you will not only be able to fulfil your legal responsibilities but also ensure a healthier, safer work environment for your employees.

Face fit testing is a procedure used to ensure that Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) fits an individual’s face properly, creating an effective seal. This process helps confirm that the RPE will provide the intended level of protection against hazardous airborne particles.
If RPE is not face fit tested by a competent person, the wearer may not achieve a tight seal, putting them at risk of inhaling harmful substances like construction dust or gases from their work activities.
This course is ideal for anyone responsible for conducting face fit tests, as well as employers and managers who oversee RPE programmes. It is also beneficial for workers who may be subject to fit testing.
Under the law, those conducting face fit testing must be competent, possessing adequate knowledge, skills and experience. Employers have the legal duty to ensure competence through assessment of their work environment and personnel. This online course covers every element of compliant face-fit tests, with clear visual demonstrations of each step. However, it is up to the employer to determine whether or not further training is required.
The training certificate is valid for three years. After this, it’s necessary to retake the training to renew your certification and refresh your knowledge.
