COURSE TITLE: Fit Testing Refresher & Advanced Topics
This 1-day course is designed for the person who needs to understand why poorly fitting respirators pass and why good fitting respirators fail. This course begins with a review of OSHA fit testing requirements and emphasizes solutions to common fit testing problems. The course will decrease the frequency of switching between different respirator sizes & models. The course is especially helpful for persons familiar with fit testing procedures, but has limited formal training, needs a refresher, or needs a better understanding of fit testing.
It also provides an opportunity to discuss advanced topics not covered during a typical 2-day fit testing workshop due to time limitations. This course is also valuable for respirator program administrators who need a better understanding of fit testing procedures and assurance that their fit testing program is being run properly. The emphasis of this course is on quantitative fit testing with the TSI PortaCount, although many of the concepts are applicable to other fit test methods.
