Subject: Re Respiratory protective equipment fit testsHi All
Can anyway tell me what testing kit/process they are using for testing respiratory masks? I have info about a Fit test kit from 3M that involves the mask wearer sticking their head in a bag that is then filled with either sweet or bitter solution and if they taste it, the mask is a poor fit! I am concerned that this test may be a bit subjective, especially if the mask wearer is expecting a taste or does not wish to carry out the work! I also believe that there is particle testing kit. Any advice?Many thanks
