Advancements in Respirator Fit Testing Technology with Controlled Negative Pressure

Webinar Presented By: Dr Stephanie Lynch, OHD Global

In this webinar, we discuss the latest advancements in respirator fit testing with OHD’s patented Controlled Negative Pressure technology featuring guest speaker Dr Stephanie Lynch from OHD Global.

While the wearing of masks play a vital role in the protection of workers, a mask that does not correctly fit the wearer or is suitable for the job will result in an inadequate level of protection.

Conducting a fit test allows users to assess and confirm proper fit and use of the respirator to protect users against hazardous particles. When you go to fit test your mask, the most important part is walking away with the confidence that it will protect you against the respiratory hazards you face at work. This means you want the most rigorous, most protective, and most accurate means of fit testing your mask.
