PPE Fit Testing

Ensure Every Mask Fits Right—Protect Your Team with Expert Fit Testing

Proper PPE fit is non-negotiable. Without it, healthcare workers are at risk, and hospitals face compliance issues. RRS offers professional fit testing and training to keep your staff safe and your facility compliant.

The Importance of Proper PPE Fit Testing

Ensuring that personal protective equipment, especially respirators, fits correctly is crucial for:

Protecting Healthcare Workers – A well-fitted respirator prevents exposure to airborne hazards.
Regulatory Compliance: OSHA mandates that employers provide fit testing for employees using respirators. See OSHA regulations.
Preventing Cross-Contamination: Proper fit reduces the risk of contaminants spreading within healthcare settings.
