Face Fit Awareness

Understand respiratory protection, face fit testing and why a suitable fit matters.

Learning focus

  • Understand the purpose of face fit testing
  • Recognise factors affecting a tight-fitting respirator seal
  • Understand user checks and the need for a suitable tested respirator

What this training is — and isn’t

  • It is awareness training that gives your team a shared understanding of the risks and safe practice.
  • It helps evidence the “Health & safety awareness” section of your training matrix.
  • It isn’t a replacement for CSCS, CITB, IPAF, PASMA or other recognised qualifications, or for competence, practical assessment and site-specific instruction for higher-risk tasks. This awareness course is not a face fit test.

Need a practical face fit test?

David also offers in-person qualitative face fit testing, separately from this awareness course.
