Our Qualitative Face Fit Tester Course delivers a minimum of 6 hours of instruction and is designed to instruct up to a maximum of 8 delegates, providing training for those looking to be able to perform qualitative face fit testing for tight fitting RPE (Respiratory Protective Equipment) within their organisation for their own staff.
This course aims to provide delegates with the knowledge and skills required to conduct the fit testing, in compliance with the relevant legislation and HSE guidance found in HSG53 and INDG479. The course is delivered by a BSiF "Fit2Fit" accredited face fit tester and will help prepare the learners for a "Fit2Fit" assessment if they wish to demonstrate competence in this way.
Face Fit Testing kits are currently in stock and available. A Bitrex Testing kit is included in the course price of £370.00 + VAT.
