Face Fit Testing
Course Information
Construction site workers need to wear face masks or respirators in order to protect their health in the workplace from dust and other air born particles.

It’s important that your workforce understands how to fit the respirator or facemask correctly ensuring a ‘fit check’ of the seal before they start work on site. Employers are legally required by the HSE to provide suitable RPE top their employees and have documented evidence of both training and face fit inspection.
