In this episode, host Mark Reggers and guest Mike Clayton, 3M’s
Senior Respiratory Protection Research & Application Specialist for
the Personal Safety Division in the United Kingdom continue where
they left off and resume their discussion on the subject matter of
conducting a respirator fit test.
Tight-fitting respirators must seal to the wearer’s face to provide
the expected protection. A respiratory fit test ensures that the
respirator truly fits and is being worn correctly. Respiratory fit
testing applies to all tight-fitting respirators, either full face
masks that cover the mouth, nose and eyes and half masks which
covers the mouth and nose.
