What Happens During the Mask Fit Test?

Our Qualitative Respirator / N95 Mask Fit Testing is conducted in accordance with CAN/CSA standards, and in compliance with occupational health and safety codes.

During this session, you will be fit tested for a respirator or N95 mask using qualitative respiratory mask fit test methods outlined in CAN/CSA-Z94.4-18 Selection, Use and Care of Respirators. The fit testing session includes:

• What a Fit Test is, who needs it and why it is done

• Introduction to Respirators and/or N95 Masks

• Respirator selection

• Respirator limitations

• Sensitivity test and fit test

• Donning/Doffing and user seal checks

• Storage and maintenance instructions

• Cartridge dating, change frequency and limitations (if applicable)

With a successful mask fit indicating a proper seal of the mask, you will receive a Respirator / N95 Mask Fit Certification card that is valid for two years (OHSA approved).
