Get Fit 2 Fit.
It is a legal requirement that workers using tight fitting RPE must be fitted by a competent person.
This course is designed to train individuals on how to conduct ‘Qualitative’ face fit testing on their staff, ultimately saving valuable downtime and costs.
If you provide respiratory protective equipment (RPE) to your employees then it is essential that you have documentary evidence to show the RPE fits the wearer.
By undertaking a face fit test on each wearer, you can be sure that your organisation is fulfilling the requirements laid out in the Health and Safety Executives (HSE) guidance note: HSG53.
Face fit testing must be undertaken by a competent person, by attending the course you will be trained by a BSIF Fit 2 Fit approved face fit tester.
Face fit testing kits are available to purchase from us directly.
