"Respirator Fit Tester Training" is a FREE 4-hour safety training program.

This training prepares participants to perform respirator fit testing protection according to OSHA Standards (Appendix A §1910.134-Fit Testing Procedures) and educates participants of the employer responsibilities under OSHA's respiratory protection fit testing requirements, as well as necessary record keeping requirements. This testing can be performed on a variety of respirators, including, but not limited to N95.

A “fit test” tests the seal between the respirator's facepiece and their face. Performing a fit test takes about fifteen to twenty minutes to complete and should be performed at least annually. After passing a fit test with a respirator, the user must use the exact same make, model, style, and size respirator while on the job.

Training topics include:

  • OSHA Fit Testing requirements/standards
  • How to put on and take off a respirator
  • How to use, clean, and maintain your respirator.
  • Fit testing equipment needs and maintenance
  • How to perform a fit test
  • User seal test demonstration
  • Fit testing record keeping

Format: Instruction will be provided in a format that combines classroom-based lecture, participant discussion and hands-on activities

Evaluation: Practical exam

Course Length: 4 hours

Complimentary Program:
The program fee is FREE for Chicago & Cook County Chapter, NECA members and Northeastern Illinois Chapter, NECA members.
