Respirator Fit Testing (Includes n95)
Train-The-Trainer
(Includes N95)
TRAIN-THE-TRAINER
Many assume the objective of a fit test is face piece sizing. Although this is a very important element of fit testing, the primary reason to fit test an individual is to verify that he or she has been trained to wear a respirator and has, in fact, learned how to put on the face piece correctly. If a person does not know how to use the equipment, the respirator will be less effective, regardless of whether or not it is the right size.
This course covers N95 and all other tight-fitting respirators.
This virtual train-the-trainer (TTT) course is designed for workers responsible for the upkeep and implementation of their employer’s Respiratory Protection Safety Written Program and/or who are deemed competent by their employer to perform qualitative respirator fit testing (QLFT) for employees required to wear respirators at the workplace.
Agenda:
- How to be an effective instructor
- Respiratory protection safety training program forms
