Qualitative Face Fit Testing that proves your RPE actually protects
For safety managers and operations leads running sites where tight-fitting Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) is a control measure - because a mask that doesn't seal doesn't protect.
What's included in this service
Qualitative Face Fit Testing on site by specialist occupational health technicians. Each employee is tested against the specific make, model, and size of RPE they use at work, with a pass or fail recorded and documented to satisfy Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulation requirements.

Individual on-site fit test
Each employee is tested wearing their assigned mask through a series of exercises designed to simulate real working movements - bending, talking, turning - inside a test hood. The test checks for leaks around the seal and confirms whether the mask creates an effective seal on that person's face.
One clear, prioritised face fit record
A pass or fail result per person, recorded against the specific RPE make, model, and size tested. Documented for each employee to satisfy COSHH Regulation requirements and Health and Safety Executive (HSE) inspection, with a site-level summary of pass and fail rates.
Know what's next - retest or reselect
Where a mask fails, you get advice on alternative RPE types or sizes to trial, with a follow-up session scheduled to retest with different masks. Annual retest cadence recommended alongside your health surveillance programme. Email support for 30 days covers any questions.
