Face Fit Test + Reusable Half-Mask* - from £76.00 per person.

*BLS 5GE46 Universal (RD40 Connection). P3 filters can be purchased for £6.00 each.

Qualitative Face Fit Testing is suitable for disposable (types FFP1, FFP2 or FFP3) and Re-Usable Half-Masks with filters. Each test lasts for approximately 20 minutes and is carried out in two stages:

1. A sensitivity test is carried out first, this confirms that the wearer can detect (taste) the test agent. The test agent is sprayed into a test hood so that the wearer’s sensitivity can be established through taste.
2. The fit test itself requires the wearer to don their respirator and the test hood. The tester sprays the test agent into the hood at intervals whilst the wearer is carrying out a series of movement exercises designed to simulate motion expected in the workplace (e.g. moving head side to side, up and down, and talking out loud). If the wearer can detect (via taste) the test agent at any time this indicates the mask’s seal is being breached and the test is recorded as a “fail” – the mask does not fit and an alternative should be sourced.

This service is available from our Stourbridge, Wakefield and Livingston (Scotland) offices.

Face fit tests are charged from £40.00 per person.
