Qualitative Mask Fit Testing Certification

We provide 3M N95 Mask Fit test for individuals and groups. Our Respirator Mask Qualitative Fit Test is conducted according to the CSA Z94.4 standards. This Respirator Protection Training session is focused on the importance of proper respirator protection, the selection of the appropriate mask for the workplace, an inspection of the mask, proper mask donning and doffing and seal test, and cleaning and storage of the masks.

We conduct fit tests with 3M N95  8210, 1860, 8200, and 1860S masks at present time.

Each test will take 15-20 minutes to complete. 

In order to receive a certificate, the participant must be able to successfully pass the administered taste test requiring the candidates to demonstrate how to properly don/doff the mask, do seal checks, and how to complete general care and maintenance of the respirator.

A candidate is fit tested to a particular model of the respirator. If the employer changes respirators a new fit test must be done. The Ontario Ministry of Labour also requires you must be re-certified for respirator mask fit testing every 2 years.

Note: You must not smoke, eat, chew gum, drink any liquids (except water) at least 15 minutes prior to the test, to ensure an accurate, successful respirator mask fit test (All types of masks).

Please remove facial jewelry or other items that stays between the skin and respirator.

You must be clean shaven 12 to 24 hours before the Respirator Protection Training testing procedure.

Candidates with asthma, respiratory conditions, heart conditions, and/or anxiety may or may not be properly fit tested. Those candidates may be required to get the clearance from your family physician before your mask fit test.

We charge $50 per one individual test as we have purchased masks for a higher price.

Please book and pay before the test date.
