The complete solution for OSHA-compliant respirator medical clearances and program management.
Estimate your potential savings and see the real ROI of streamlining your respiratory compliance program.
Ensuring a proper respirator seal is not just a regulation—it's a critical safeguard for your team's health. Our expert-led fit testing services provide the confidence and compliance your workplace demands.
Schedule On-Site TestingEffective January 2025, OSHA's rule for PPE in construction (29 C.F.R. 1926.95) now explicitly requires that all PPE, including respirators, must "properly fit" each employee. This replaces vague language and heightens employer responsibility to ensure equipment is correctly sized and sealed, not just provided. This shift underscores the long-standing principle in the general industry Respiratory Protection Standard (29 CFR 1910.134) that a secure fit is non-negotiable for safety. QuickCare ensures your program meets these exacting standards.
A respirator is only as effective as its seal. Even microscopic gaps, invisible to the naked eye, can render a high-quality respirator useless against airborne hazards like dust, chemical vapors, or infectious agents. Fit testing is the only way to verify that an employee's specific respirator model and size creates an effective seal against their face.
QuickCare offers both OSHA-accepted fit testing methods to meet your specific needs and hazard levels. Our experts will help you determine the most appropriate method for your team.
Feature | Qualitative (QLFT) | Quantitative (QNFT) |
---|---|---|
Method | A pass/fail test relying on the user's sense of taste or smell (e.g., Saccharin or Bitrex). | An objective, instrument-based test that provides a numerical measurement of fit (a "Fit Factor"). |
Best For | Half-mask respirators (like N95s) in environments where contaminant levels are no more than 10 times the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL). | All tight-fitting respirators, including full-face masks. Required for full-facepiece respirators in high-hazard environments. |
Result | Subjective (Pass/Fail) | Objective (Numeric Fit Factor) |
OSHA Accepted? | check_circle Yes, for specific applications. | check_circle Yes, for all tight-fitting respirators. |
Our process is designed to be thorough, compliant, and efficient, ensuring each employee receives proper instruction and validation. The entire process typically takes 15-20 minutes per person.
A successful respiratory protection program goes beyond the fit test itself. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 mandates several key components:
