There are two acceptable methods for Respirator Fit Testing according to the CSA Z94. 4-11. Both a Qualitative and Quantitative methods require a worker to be trained on the selection, care and use of designated respirators by certified instructor. 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 worker. This includes all types of air purifying, air-supplied, positive pressure, powered air-purifying respirators, and SCBA. In Ontario, the Occupational Health and Safety Act suggests Respirator Fit Testing to be conducted every 2 years. Qualitative 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. Qualitative Fit Testing– the following will be discussed during the theory part of the program: • Types of respirators • Identification of Respirator Cartridges and Gas Mask Canisters • Supplied-Air Respirators • Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) • Requirements for Fit Testing and how they will be done • Issuance of Respirators • Self-testing Procedures • Negative Pressure Seal Check & Positive Pressure Seal Check • Application and use of Respirators including Respirator selection guide • During the fit testing phase we will cover the proper donning and doffing of the respirator, performing seal checks, care, use and maintenance of the respirator Quantitative Fit Testing: 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. Additional recommendations: • Prior to testing, individuals will have to remove facial hair to ensure a proper fit of their mask. Failure to do this will result in a FAILED test. • Masks can be provided at an additional cost.
