It is a legal requirement that all RPE (Respiratory Protective Equipment) that is classified as “Tight Fitting” and used as PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) should be Fit Tested by a competent person to comply with the current COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) Regulations. It is important to follow the HSE INDG479 current guidance when face fit testing.

We support and endorse the BSIF Fit2Fit RPE fit test providers accreditation scheme, which is designed to confirm the competency of any person performing face fit testing. Betafit can provide accredited fit testers, please contact us for more information.

Why fit test?

Face fit testing has been a requirement in COSHH
(Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) since 2002
where it states that “selection should include a fit test to
ensure the wearer has the correct device”. There is no one mask that will fit everyone, so it is important that all tight
fitting RPD’s (Respiratory Protective Device) being used to protect the wearer is fit tested. All fit testing should be carried out in accordance with HSE INDG479, and, by a competent person. We have fully qualified Fit2Fit Accredited trainers who
will train your staff to carry out fit testing. Alternatively we could complete your fit testing requirements on site or at our fully-equipped training centre.

Train the trainer

We are able to offer ‘Train the Trainer’ courses in both the Qualitative (taste) and Quantitative methods (APC) by very experienced and Fit2Fit Accredited trainers. Delivered at your preferred site/premises, alternatively at any of our national training facilities.

The TTT (Train the Trainer) courses includes practical sessions, selection & maintenance of RPD’s (Respiratory Protective Device), product use awareness and troubleshooting.

After completion of a practical demonstration and written test all attendees will receive a certificate of training.
