Fit Testing for N-95 Masks
Qualitative Fit Testing: We use OSHA-approved methods through pass/fail testing requirements, to confirm a secure respirator fit.
Comprehensive Training: Our team provides instruction on proper respirator use, including donning, doffing, and maintenance procedures.
Medical Clearance Coordination: We ensure employees meet medical requirements before fit testing, partnering with occupational health services when appropriate.
Regulatory Documentation Management: We ensure all Fit Testing documents and forms are accurate and complete. This facilitates hospital compliance with OSHA’s annual fit testing requirements and The Joint Commission’s infection prevention standards.
Our Fit Testing Program is designed to help hospitals and healthcare facilities meet critical safety and compliance standards, including OSHA regulations and The Joint Commission requirements. By ensuring that respirators fit securely, we protect healthcare workers while supporting facilities in maintaining accreditation and regulatory compliance.
Fit Testing involves conducting OSHA-compliant qualitative respirator fit tests to verify that N95 respirators provide a proper seal. This ensures maximum protection for healthcare workers against airborne contaminants. Key components of the program include:

Enhanced Safety: Properly fitted respirators reduce exposure risks for healthcare workers, safeguarding both staff and patients.
Regulatory Compliance: Our program ensures adherence to OSHA’s annual fit testing requirements and supports compliance with The Joint Commission’s infection control standards, such as IC.07.01.01 for high-consequence infectious diseases.
Operational Efficiency: Outsourcing fit testing minimizes administrative burdens, allowing staff to focus on patient care rather than compliance tasks. We leverage technology to track location and quantity of Fit Tests completed, helping to inform clients regarding staff and scheduling needs.
Flexible Scheduling: Our Fit Testing team accommodate diverse shifts and staffing needs without disrupting operations.
Expert Staff Education: Upon request, our HealthOps team provides expert training for hospital staff. This equips your team with the skills needed for safe and effective on-going Fit Testing, as needed.
