What Are the Regulatory Requirements for Qualitative Fit Testing?
Regulatory bodies, such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the United States, mandate fit testing requirements to ensure worker safety. Employers must conduct fit tests for employees who are required to wear respirators as part of their job. These tests must adhere to specific protocols, and records of fit tests must be maintained. Compliance with these regulations helps minimize the risk of toxic exposure in the workplace.
