Whether you require routine annual fit testing, onboarding new workers, or preparing for university placement, our team delivers fast, reliable and high-quality testing using the latest industry technology.

What Respiratory Fit Testing Is (and Why You Need It)

Respiratory Fit Testing ensures that a tight-fitting respirator (such as a P2/N95, half-face or full-face respirator) forms the correct seal on the wearer’s face. An incorrect seal reduces protection and increases exposure to hazards including:

Silica dust
Asbestos
Vapours & gases
Airborne contaminants

We use Quantitative Respiratory Fit Testing (QNFT – CNC), the gold standard for accuracy.
This method uses a Portacount machine to measure particles inside and outside the mask, giving a numerical “fit factor” that confirms whether the respirator provides proper protection.

No taste tests, no irritating hoods — just fast, measurable, evidence-based results.
