Qualitative Respirator Fit Testing
$1490.00
Program Details
here are two acceptable methods for Respirator Fit Testing according to the most current version of CSA Z94. 4. Both a Qualitative and Quantitative method require a trained professional to conduct an in person assessment and training on the selection, care and use of designated respirators. All respirators that rely on a mask-to-face seal need to be checked with either a Qualitative or Quantitative method to determine whether the mask provides an acceptable fit to the wearer. This includes all types of air purifying, air-supplied, positive pressure, powered air-purifying respirators, and SCBA. In Canada, each province maintains its own Occupational Health and Safety guidelines and policies. In Ontario, the Occupational Health and Safety Act suggests Respirator Fit Testing to be conducted every 2 years.
Industrial Safety Trainers offers both Qualitative and Quantitative Testing.

This method of fit testing relies on a subjective sensation (taste, irritation, smell) of the respirator wearer to a particular test agent. This type of testing is appropriate for workers that utilize disposable and air purifying respirators where there is no immediate threat to life. Along with the classroom theory based training, this method of fit testing provides a flexible, accurate and affordable fit testing experience. Testing takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes per participant. The theory portion provides an enduring influence on workers that emphasizes the importance of correct technique and respirator use.
This method of testing utilizes a measuring instrument called a porta count machine to measure face-seal leakage. This format of testing is appropriate for those required to wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or other supplied air breathing apparatus, where the scenario indicates there may be an immediate threat to life. Each test takes approximately 15 minutes and is conducted one participant at a time. Please call our office for additional information; pricing is dependent upon your location within the province.
