Quantitative Respirator Fit Testing

Quantitative Respirator Fit Testing

Respirator fit testing helps determine if a respirator is a good fit for a workers face and if it is functioning properly by creating an adequate seal. A properly-fitted respirator helps protect workers from hazardous airborne gases and particles that can lead to illness or disease

Quantitative fit testing is a method that uses a machine to measure the amount of inward leakage to the facepiece. It does not rely on your sense of taste, smell, or irritation to detect leakage. CNP or Controlled Negative Pressure method can be used for any type of tight-fitting respirator, but it is mostly performed on full face respirators.
