The fit test may include:

• Normal and deep breathing
• Turning the head side-to-side and up-and-down

Key Facts About Respirator Fit Testing

1. OSHA Compliance
OSHA requires respirator fit testing for employees who wear tight-fitting respirators as part of a respiratory protection program. Testing must be conducted initially and repeated at required intervals.

2. Proper Fit Is Essential
A respirator that does not fit correctly can allow harmful substances—such as dust, fumes, chemicals, or pathogens—to bypass the seal and expose the wearer.

3. Professional Administration
Fit testing must be conducted by trained and qualified personnel familiar with the respirator type, workplace hazards, and OSHA requirements.

4. Documentation & Recordkeeping
Proper records are maintained for compliance and include:

• Respirator type and model
• Date of testing
• Test results
• Tester information

These records remain on file as long as the respirator is in use.

Types of Respirator Fit Testing

Qualitative Fit Testing
This OSHA-approved method uses a test agent (such as a sweet or bitter solution). If the wearer detects the agent, the respirator does not provide an adequate seal.
