FAQs

In the UK the COSHH regulations stipulate that anyone who needs to wear a tight-fitting respirator whilst at work should receive a face fit test for the respirator they are using.

Face fit testing should be carried out by a competent person. The only way of proving competency in the UK is through Fit2Fit accreditation. 

Tight fitting respiratory protection is not suitable for those who have facial hair in the area the respirator seals against the face.

Face fit testing should be carried out with the wearer in a clean shaven state and this is how the respirator should be worn whilst at work.
