Worksite Health Tasmania provides onsite respirator fit testing to help businesses protect workers who are required to wear respiratory protective equipment in the workplace.

A properly fitted respirator is essential for reducing exposure to airborne contaminants such as dust, silica, fumes, vapours and other hazardous substances. Fit testing confirms that the selected respirator forms an effective seal on the wearer's face and meets workplace health and safety requirements.

Testing is completed using validated quantitative fit testing equipment in accordance with Australian Standards and manufacturer recommendations. We provide clear reporting to support workplace compliance and help employers meet their obligations under respiratory protection programs.
