Face Fit Testing

The Face Fit Training is an essential course designed for individuals in the UK construction industry who use or oversee the selection and application of respiratory protective equipment (RPE) on-site. This comprehensive program provides critical knowledge about the importance of face fit testing in ensuring RPE provides adequate protection against airborne hazards such as dust, fumes, and vapours. 
Covering key topics such as the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH), types of RPE (e.g., disposable masks, half-mask respirators, and full-face respirators), the difference between qualitative and quantitative fit testing methods, when face fit testing is required, factors that affect the seal of RPE (such as facial hair, weight changes, and dental work), pre-use checks, and legal responsibilities of employers and employees, the course aims to enhance awareness and promote best practices. Participants will learn to understand the purpose and limitations of face fit testing, recognise when retesting is necessary, and ensure compliance with workplace safety requirements. Delivered through an accessible online platform, the course includes interactive modules and assessments, making it ideal for construction workers, site supervisors, and safety personnel responsible for RPE management.
