PPE - RESPIRATORY
FACE FIT
TESTING
Where RPE is used, it must be able to provide
adequate protection for individual wearers.
RPE can’t protect the wearer if it leaks. A major
cause of leaks is poor fit – tight-fitting face pieces
need to fit the wearer’s face to be effective. As
people come in all sorts of shapes and sizes it is
unlikely that one type or size of RPE facepiece
will fit everyone. Fit testing will ensure that the
equipment selected is suitable for the wearer.
SMI provides a full service for Face Fit Testing,
to ensure that the products you purchase are
comfortable, and optimised to provide full
protection from respiratory injuries.
