Respirator and Mask Fit Testing New Zealand

Protect your workers and stay compliant with qualified fit testing services.

Protect Your Workers with Verified Respirator Fit

An ill-fitting respirator offers little protection against airborne contaminants, putting workers at risk of serious health issues. Our certified fit testing ensures that each worker's mask forms an effective seal, helping to prevent exposure to harmful dusts, vapours, gases, and pathogens. Proper fit testing gives your team the confidence that their PPE is actually working as intended.

Our certified consultants conduct qualitative and quantitative fit testing:

  • Qualitative fit testing relies on the wearer's senses (taste or smell) to detect leakage

  • Quantitative fit testing uses instruments to numerically measure leakage

  • This verifies that workers’ respirators form a proper seal and provide effective protection against airborne hazards
