In high-risk clinical environments, protecting frontline workers from airborne hazards is not just critical, it is actually required by OSHA per the Respiratory Protection Standard (29 CFR 1910.134). Respirator fit testing plays a central role in ensuring that each healthcare worker is equipped with a properly sealed respirator to safeguard against exposure to infectious diseases, hazardous chemicals, and other airborne risks.
At Mobile Health, we’ve made respirator fit testing easier, faster, and more compliant. With decades of clinical excellence behind us, we’ve helped thousands of healthcare facilities meet and exceed OSHA requirements with a streamlined, tech-driven approach. Whether you’re running a hospital, urgent care center, or specialty clinic, having a dependable occupational health provider is key to protecting both staff and patients.
Why Respirator Fit Testing Matters
Respirator fit testing ensures that a respirator forms a proper seal on the user’s face, which is vital in high-risk settings. Even the best mask fails if it doesn’t fit right. For healthcare workers exposed to airborne pathogens or chemical hazards, this test confirms that their respirator will perform under pressure.
Fit testing must be performed before the employee uses a respirator and at least annually thereafter. Beyond compliance, it’s about trust, trust that your team is protected when it matters most.
Types of Respirator Fit Testing
There are two approved methods: qualitative and quantitative.
Qualitative fit testing uses taste to detect leaks. It is suitable for half-face respirators.
Quantitative fit testing uses a machine to measure leakage and is required for full-face respirators, but can also be used with half-face respirators.
Not sure which test is needed? That’s where Mobile Health steps in. As part of our occupational health services, we help you determine the right test based on your workplace risk and respirator type.
