Overview

Where RPE is required in the workplace, it must provide individual protection for the wearer to avoid respiratory problems caused by harmful airborne substances. Face fit testing for RPE is a legal requirement* in the UK for anyone who wears a tight, or close fitting, mask for work. It is a means of checking that a respirator facepiece matches a person's facial features and seals adequately to their face, providing both comfort and protection. Face fit testing should be carried out:

• As part of initial mask selection processes.
• At least annually to ensure RPE continues to provide the correct fit.
• Every time a new model, manufacturer type/brand, or size of RPE is introduced to the wearer.
• If alterations occur to a wearer’s weight or facial/dental features.
