Fit Testing for N-95 Masks

HealthOps delivers on-site, OSHA-compliant qualitative N95 respirator fit testing for hospitals and healthcare facilities that need to protect staff, maintain program readiness, and keep required documentation organized. Our teams work around clinical schedules and staffing needs, helping organizations complete high-volume testing without pulling internal teams away from patient care.

Fit testing is more than a pass/fail requirement. It confirms that an employee can achieve an appropriate seal with the respirator model and size they will use, while giving hospital leaders a more reliable way to manage annual testing requirements, staff readiness, and documentation across departments.

HealthOps provides qualified fit-testing teams that can flex with hospital demand, testing up to 300 employees per day through an organized, on-site process designed to reduce scheduling friction and administrative burden.

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:

  • 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.

Fit testing at the scale your hospital needs

Staff protection without operational disruption

Annual fit testing can become a scheduling and documentation burden when it is managed one department or one shift at a time. HealthOps provides the staffing, coordination, and tracking needed to complete testing efficiently while helping clinical and operational leaders maintain visibility into who has been tested, what remains outstanding, and where follow-up is needed.

The result is a more reliable respiratory-protection process: frontline staff are fit tested, required records are organized, and internal leaders can spend less time coordinating logistics and more time managing care delivery.
