How Does Qualitative Fit Testing Compare to Quantitative Fit Testing?
Qualitative and quantitative fit testing are both essential components of a comprehensive respiratory protection program. While qualitative testing offers a fast and cost-effective method for checking respirator fit, quantitative testing provides a more precise measurement of fit using specialized equipment. Each method has its place, with qualitative testing being more accessible and suitable for routine checks, and quantitative testing preferred for high-risk environments or when a higher level of respiratory protection is required.
