Face Fit Testing On Site

Donnelly Safety Services offers professional Face Fit Testing on site, ensuring your workforce is protected and compliant with the latest health and safety regulations. A proper face fit test is essential for anyone required to wear tight-fitting respiratory protective equipment (RPE), helping to confirm that the mask forms an adequate seal on the wearer’s face. By bringing this service directly to your workplace, Donnelly Safety Services saves you time, reduces disruption, and ensures that all staff can be tested efficiently in one convenient session.

​Properly fitting respiratory protective equipment (RPE) is essential for safeguarding employees against harmful airborne hazards. Our Face Fit Testing service ensures that masks provide an effective seal, meeting the requirements of the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations and other UK health and safety legislation.

This service includes:

• Assessing the correct type and size of RPE for the wearer
• Qualitative or quantitative face fit testing methods
• Guidance on proper fitting, donning, and maintenance of masks
• Ensuring compliance with UK regulations for workplace safety
• Face Fit Testing is crucial for workers in industries such as construction, manufacturing, and healthcare, where exposure to dust, fumes, or other airborne particles is a risk. Upon successful testing, participants receive a certificate of compliance, valid for the specific mask tested.

Qualitative Face Fit Testing

Qualitative Face Fit Testing is a pass/fail method that relies on the wearer’s sense of taste or smell.
A harmless test agent (usually a bitter or sweet aerosol solution) is introduced into a hood worn over the head while the person has their mask on. If the mask fits correctly, the wearer will not detect the test agent. If they can taste or smell it, the mask does not provide an adequate seal.
​This method is suitable only for disposable and half-mask respirators.
