Face Fit Testing Workshop

Face Fit Testing Workshop course content

During the workshop, a Fit2Fit accredited instructor will understand how to conduct face fit training yourself and knowledge on the variations of masks available.

Throughout the day, you will learn:

  • Health & safety law
  • Types of Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) and correct selection
  • Types of hazardous substances and their health impacts
  • Why Face Fit Testing matters
  • How to conduct a Face Fit Test

Assessment.

You must show competence and understanding as you will need to conduct Face Fit Tests yourself correctly.

You must successfully demonstrate a Face Fit Test and complete a written assessment. Once you have completed the above, the tutor will deem you prepared to conduct a Face Fit Test.

How long is a Face Fit Testing Workshop

We deliver the course over one day.

The tutor splits the course into half theory, half practical learning. As a result, you will gain all you need to know in just one day of training.

Why should I attend this course?

This course is suitable for anyone who needs to deliver face fit testing to employees or co-workers on-site.

The qualification that you gain will give you the skills to safeguard your workers’ health. Face fit testing will help to protect them from the airborne hazardous substances that they would otherwise inhale. Inhaling these substances could lead to serious long term ill-health and even death.

By face fitting at your organisation, you are also following the law. Anybody who wears a closefitting mask for their work must legally attend a face fit test.

A significant benefit of being able to deliver face fit tests is the costs to your organisation. Rather than paying for all of your employees to regularly attend face fit tests, you can provide the testing internally yourself.
