Top 5 Reasons Your Workers May Be Failing Face Fit Tests
Introduction At SEI Tech International, it's not uncommon to see customers who are shocked when their employees don't pass a face fit test, particularly when the masks are new or the tasks are routine. The reality is that even the best gear won't save your workforce if they don't fit correctly. Let's look at it in a bit more detail, why it does this, and what you can do about it. If you're running a construction site, factory floor or healthcare department, these five frequent issues are something that it's worth understanding if you want to get more out of your face fit testing in the UK.
● Incorrect Mask Size or Model No one-size-fits-all when it comes to respiratory protective equipment (RPE). One person's perfectly fitting mask may leak on another. Tip: Carry a variety of models and sizes. When we doface fit testing in the UK, we assist customers in testing several different ones to discover what really fits each face shape. ● Poor Donning Technique Even a snugly fitting mask will fail if it is not fitted correctly. Straps that are too loose, nose clips that are not pinched, or hair trapped under the seal can all lead to issues. Tip: Ensure that workers are instructed on how to properly put on their masks every time, not only for the test. It's a skill, not an isolated incident.
