What are the Limitations of Qualitative Fit Testing?
While qualitative fit testing is a valuable tool, it does have limitations. It is subjective and relies on the wearerâs sensory response, which may vary. Some individuals may not be able to detect the test agent, leading to a false sense of security. Additionally, qualitative testing is not suitable for full-face respirators or situations requiring a high level of protection. In such cases, quantitative fit testing is recommended to ensure accuracy and reliability.
