Fit Testing for Tight-Fitting Respirators


To ensure effective protection, tight-fitting respirators, including disposable filtering facepiece respirators, must form a proper seal to the wearer’s face. According to the Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 1715, fit testing is mandatory before a respirator is used on the job and should be conducted at least annually.

Fit testing is also required:

  • Annually as part of routine compliance.

  • When switching respirators (e.g., using a different size, style, model, or make).

  • After facial changes such as significant weight fluctuations, dental work, or other alterations that may affect the respirator's fit.

​

Regular fit testing is crucial to maintaining safety standards and ensuring reliable respiratory protection in the workplace.
