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.

Explained in real terms. Practical and already being put to use in my day to day work.
Face Fit Testing is a procedure that will determine that RPE or Respiratory Protective Equipment correctly fits an individual wearer without breaking the tight seal to their face. By successfully completing the test the wearer can undertake work around harmful respiratory hazards.
Yes, face fit testing is a legal requirement for anyone who is required to wear tight fitting RPE for their work; this is an approved code of practice under the COSHH Regulations 2002.
If RPE isn’t face fit tested by a competent person, the wearer doesn’t necessarily have a tight seal to their face. Therefore, they will be at risk of consuming harmful substances such as construction dust or gases from their work activities.
The face fit train the tester certificate is valid for three years and must be completed again to renew upon expiry.
If the wearer has any considerable changes to their face e.g., weight loss, weight gain, dental work or facial injury they must retake the test before the three-year expiry.
Face fit testing must be carried out every time the wearer uses a different type of RPE, or their previous certificate has expired.
Many organisations conduct face fit testing annually at their own discretion.
