Customer Feedback

Why Is This Face Fit Testing Course Important?

Accidental exposure to airborne contaminants can lead to severe or fatal respiratory conditions, including asthma, pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer.

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 testing that the equipment suits the user is fundamental.

Our comprehensive face fit tester 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.

Are You Aware of Your Responsibilities?

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:

  • Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER)
  • Health and Safety at Work Act
  • Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH)
  • Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM)
  • Health and Social Care Act
  • Conformity Marking Legislation
  • Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR)

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.

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, equipping participants to conduct fit testing correctly and ensure workers are protected from harmful airborne contaminants. Testing equipment this way is a legal obligation.
