Respirator Fit Testing with Controlled Negative Pressure

Webinar Presented By: Dr Stephanie Lynch, OHD Global

Fit testing should identify a mask that best suits you, and this includes it being suitable for your job. 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.

Not all fit tests are the same and not all testing methods produce the same results. In this webinar, Dr Stephanie Lynch from OHD Global joins us to discuss fit testing regulations and fit testing with controlled negative pressure.
