Properly fitted respiratory protection saves lives. In industries where exposure to airborne hazards is a daily risk—such as construction, manufacturing, healthcare, or cleaning—it’s vital that workers use Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) that fits correctly. One of the most effective ways to ensure this is through Face Fit Testing, and now, thanks to modern digital learning, you can train in this critical skill through Face Fit Testing training by e-learning.

What Is Face Fit Testing and Why Does It Matter?

Face Fit Testing ensures that tight-fitting respirators—such as disposable masks or half-face reusable masks—form a secure seal on the wearer’s face. Without a proper seal, the mask may allow harmful particles to bypass the filter, rendering it ineffective.

According to HSE (Health and Safety Executive) guidelines, all users of tight-fitting RPE must undergo a fit test to ensure protection. This isn’t optional—it’s a legal requirement.
