Fit Test Apparatus
The 3M Qualitative Fit Test Apparatus offers a simple way to
meet the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA)
qualitative fit testing requirements. It can be used to assess the
face-to-respirator seal of any particulate respirator or gas/vapor
respirator with a particulate prefilter.
Fit testing must be performed before a respirator is first issued to
a healthcare worker and is required annually thereafter. (Note: a
separate user seal check must be performed each time the
respirator is worn.)
Fit testing is accomplished by spraying a test agent into the hood
environment with the respirator in place. If the wearer does not detect
the taste of the test agent, an acceptable fit has been demonstrated.
