Who is the Face Fit – Correct Fitting and Testing Course Suitable For?

This Face Fit course is aimed at those who are required to carry out qualitative fit testing in accordance with INDG479.

Course Background

Where Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) is used as a control measure under health and safety legislation, it is vital that the selected RPE is adequate and suitable. To ensure selected RPE has the potential to provide adequate protection, the ACoPs supporting the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (CoSHH), the Control of Asbestos Regulations and the Control of Lead at Work Regulations stipulate that tight-fitting RPE must be fit tested as part of the selection process.

NOTE:

• A tight-fitting face-piece is a full-face mask, half mask or a filtering face-piece (commonly referred to as a disposable mask)
• Fit testing is a method of checking that a tight-fitting face-piece matches the wearer’s facial features and seals adequately to their face
• SSG offer this training course for companies who want to conduct qualitative fit testing themselves, which is only suitable for half mask or a filtering face-piece.
