Face-Fit Testing covering Tyne and Wear
A respirator that doesn’t seal properly offers little real protection, whatever the box says. Face-fit testing confirms that the specific mask, on the specific person, actually forms an effective seal, which is why HSE guidance expects it wherever tight-fitting RPE is relied on.
We arrange Face-Fit Testing for individuals and employers across Tyne and Wear and the wider North East England area, including Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland, Gateshead, South Shields, using remote consultations where appropriate and on-site visits for employers who need them.
Who this is for
- Construction, demolition and refurbishment workers using RPE
- Manufacturing and processing staff exposed to dust, fume or vapour
- Healthcare and care staff requiring FFP3 mask fit testing
- Employers needing records for a new starter, new mask type, or annual retest
What's included
Testing covers the specific make and model of mask each worker will use, using the appropriate qualitative (taste/odour) or quantitative (particle-counting) method. Each person receives a pass/fail result with full documentation for your records, and practical advice if a different mask size or model is needed.
