Enhancing Workplace Safety
Fit2Fit Face Fit Testing Services
In accordance with Health & Safety regulations and industry standards, employers must ensure that the Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) provided is correctly fitted to each individual. For RPE to provide optimal protection, it must create an effective seal between the mask and the wearer’s face. A poorly fitting mask, whether too big or too small, can lead to leaks, compromising the safety of the wearer.
To confirm that the RPE is providing the necessary protection, a Face Fit Test is required for the type of mask being used. This test ensures that the mask is properly sealed and that the wearer is adequately protected from harmful airborne substances.
At Rubix Training Ltd, we offer Qualitative Face Fit Testing at your premises or on-site ensuring your employees are safe and compliant with industry health and safety standards.

How Does Face Fit Testing Work?
Testing Process: The wearer is subjected to a subjective test where a bitter or sweet-tasting substance is sprayed inside a hood. Various movements and exercises are carried out to replicate work conditions. If the wearer doesn’t taste the substance, the seal is deemed effective. If they do, adjustments are made to the mask, and the test is repeated.
Duration: Each test lasts about 20 minutes per individual.
Suitability: This method is designed for half masks and disposable FFP masks.
