Qualitative Fit-Testing for N95 Respirator A tight fit is required for N95 masks to protect against aerosols. Fit testing ensures an effective seal so that users are receiving the expected level of protection provided by the respirator. Fit testing is required for all clinical staff members and is specific to the respirator model. It is important to make sure your fit testing is being accessed through a qualified fit tester. Qualitative respirator fit tests and training on the PPE are to be completed every 2 years as per the CSA Standards and enforced through our OH&S Act and Regulations. However, if someone changes jobs, loses or gains a significant amount of weight, had an injury to the face, has changed or been requested to change respirators, or if the hazards of the workplace have been re-assessed – a fit test is required. When in doubt, consult the respirator’s user manual for the manufacturer’s recommendation if under two years.
