Respirator Fit Testing
Respirator Fit Testing New Zealand
AS/NZS 1715:2009 selection, use and maintenance of respiratory protective equipment states that the proper fitting of respiratory protective equipment requires the use of some type of fit test to determine and adequate match between the facepiece of the RPE and face of the wearer.
We are able to provide in house respirator fit testing or onsite respirator fit testing New Zealand wide. We use the Quantitative method using a TSI portacount respirator fit tester which eliminates the guesswork associated with qualitative fit test methods. Passing a Quantitative fit test proves that the respirator is sized correctly and the person is competent in donning the respirator.
Upon passing a fit test the person is issued with a fit test report which states name, ID number, date of test, next test due, mask tested on and the overall fit factor.
We have a wide variety of respirators from disposable, half face and full face and can conduct a fit test using a respirator from all the leading brands. These include: Shigematsu, Sundstrom, Scott, 3M, Moldex, Clean Space and all brands of P2 disposables.
