responders, with a particular focus on Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE).


Working with this equipment requires face fit testing and for many, this will be a new procedure, but a critical one, as research has found mask protection can significantly improve with fit-testing and one-to-one training on mask use, providing all correct procedures have been adhered to.


In normal circumstances our national network of face fit test providers can deliver testing at an organisation’s site, dramatically reducing the amount of employee down time. However, during the current situation, our team has also been focussed on supporting the NHS, first line responders and other key workers, providing face

fit testing, whilst adhering to social distancing and the revised HSE guidelines for providing this service.


We conduct two forms of face fit testing, qualitative and quantitative, both provide an indication on whether a fit has been achieved, the quantitative test being the more sensitive of the two tests. Matching an individual’s face shape with a compatible mask and teaching wearers how to ensure a tight seal is achieved is significantly helping to protect frontline workers during this period. We are also looking to utilise some of our 44 retail stores as drop- in clinics to support care workers, dentists, ambulance crews etc with face-fit testing.
