Sometimes, a mask doesn't pass the test. This is mainly due to the mask being not fit for purpose or because the wearer's features have changed and the mask is no longer tight fitting. Should this be the case, we can advise on alternative makes and models.

We carry out qualitative and quantitative face fit tests in accordance with HSE INDG479. Both tests take around 20 minutes to complete and you receive an instant result as to whether the mask has passed and therefore provides adequate protection.

The main purpose of face fit testing is to ensure that there is good contact between the wearer's skin and the seal of the face piece. However, our tests also check that the wearer knows how to put on the mask, to ensure the right protection.
