Providing workers with respirators is only part of an effective respiratory protection program. A respirator must fit properly to create a reliable seal against the wearer’s face. Even small gaps can allow airborne contaminants to bypass the filter, reducing the protection the respirator is designed to provide.

Respirator fit testing verifies that a specific make, model, and size of respirator fits an individual correctly. Since every face is different, a respirator that fits one employee may not provide the same protection for another.

At Breathesafe Canada, we provide professional on-site respirator fit testing to help businesses maintain effective respiratory protection programs while minimizing downtime. Our mobile service allows employees to be tested at your workplace, reducing disruptions and improving efficiency.

Regular fit testing also provides an opportunity to inspect respirators, review proper wearing techniques, and answer employee questions about respiratory protection.

Whether your business operates in construction, manufacturing, healthcare, emergency services, or industrial environments, ensuring respirators fit correctly helps protect workers from airborne hazards while supporting workplace safety programs.
