Face Fit Testing

By engaging PST to conduct fit testing you agree to the following terms and conditions of testing:

Terms of Testing: ©

• The results and information on the fit test report will be shared with interested parties (e.g. employer, principals, representatives or regulators).
• You will be honest about your name, employer details and ID/phone number
• You will not hold PRO Safety and Training or related entities/individuals liable for any damages, injury, illness or death caused by wearing or not wearing the RPE (Respiratory Protective Equipment) tested.
• Please note that if wearing other PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) not used during testing, we cannot guarantee the fit of the RPE.
• The RPE is reasonably comfortable, is a reasonable size and fit and you agree that you are medically fit to wear a respirator.
• You will wear RPE in accordance with AS/NZS 1715:2009 Selection, use and maintenance of respiratory protective equipment, RPE manufacturers specifications and any other site or employer requirements.
• You will only wear the respirator clean shaven and ensure that no facial hair crosses or interferes with the sealing surface of the respirator.
• You are aware that although a pass has been achieved the RPE may only be suitable for use in certain environments, and a risk assessment needs to be undertaken to determine whether that RPE is appropriate prior to working in areas with airborne contaminants. This will take into account factors including the RPE protection factor, filters, task and operator factors, type and design of mask generally.
• You are aware that fit testing is an annual requirement, and it is recommended that you are fit tested again if you have any change in facial characteristics (dental work, weight loss, weight gain, scarring)
• You allow Pro Safety and Training to notify you via text message when your fit test is coming up for renewal.

Conditions of Testing: ©

The testing was conducted as per the OSHA protocol- 29 CFR 1910.134 (OSHA Fast-Filtering Face, OSHA Fast-Full/Half Face) and AS/NZS 1715:2009 Selection, use and maintenance of respiratory protective equipment (RPE), whilst wearing other personal protective equipment (PPE) that may affect the seal and therefore protective function of the RPE. The testing was conducted whilst standing and undertaking exercises specified in the protocol, after donning the RPE for 5 minutes. The testing was conducted by a fit test operator competent in areas listed in ISO 16975-3 Respiratory protective devices- Selection, use and maintenance – Part 3 Fit testing procedures – Section 5.2. Testing was completed using the Pro Safety and Training OSHA protocol checklist.

The testing was conducted for workers that were deemed clean-shaven and have no facial hair that interfered with or touched the sealing surface of the respirator. If at any time the test subject feels uncomfortable or is suffering ill effects from wearing the RPE the test will be stopped. All components of the fit test equipment that pose a risk to the worker being tested shall be disinfected with antibacterial wipes and cleaned in line with manufacturers specifications.

RPE Supply

RPE supplied on a one-off basis, on an ongoing basis or at the time of fit testing is to be worn in accordance with AS/NZS 1715:2009 and the supplied Manufacturer Specifications. Due to the complexity of selecting RPE we strongly advise that a risk assessment is completed by the employer to ensure the RPE is suitable for the environment in which it is being worn, or a Certified Occupational Hygienist (COH) is engaged to determine suitability of the respirator.

PST can offer some general advice however this advice is not to be relied upon, and is ultimately the responsibility of the employer and wearer of the respirator.

For Refunds post supply of RPE this will only be completed if the RPE is unopened and not damaged in any way. If the RPE has been worn we are unable to provide a refund.

All goods remain the property of PST until payment is received in full.

Cancellations/ No Shows/ Late Arrivals
