Our experienced team of face fitters, trained to Fit2Fit standards, will assist you during your scheduled test to ensure your RPE is properly fitted and provides optimal protection. Step 2: Arrive Prepared for Your Face Fit Test Before your test, ensure you are clean-shaven, as facial hair can hinder the mask’s seal to your face. If you already have masks, our team will check them on the day to ensure they meet the relevant standards. We also stock a range of masks on-site for purchase or replacement. Be Clean-ShavenWe can only carry out a fit test if you are completely clean-shaven in the area where the mask seals to your face. Any facial hair — including stubble, beards, moustaches, sideburns, or low hairlines – will break the seal and invalidate the test. Avoid Eating, Drinking, or Smoking BeforehandIf you are having a qualitative fit test, please do not eat, drink (except still, unflavoured water), smoke, or chew gum for at least 30 minutes before your appointment.If you are having an ambient particle counting fit test, please avoid smoking (including e-cigarettes) for at least 60 minutes before the test. Bring Your Mask (If You Have One)If you are supplying your own mask, make sure you bring it with you. We will check its condition on the day to ensure it meets the required standards.If your mask is not suitable or you need a new one, we stock a full range of masks and can supply one for your test. Remove Anything That Could Affect the FitPlease remove any non-PPE items or adornments (such as facial piercings) that might interfere with the seal of the mask. ⚠️ Important AdvisoryIf you arrive for your appointment without following the above requirements — for example, if you are not clean-shaven, have been smoking or eating too close to your test time, or do not have a suitable mask – your test may need to be rescheduled or repeated. In these cases, you may be liable for additional charges. Step 3: Experience a Quick and Thorough Face Fit Test During the test, our expert fitters will assess the fit of your mask to your face. This process typically takes around 20 minutes per mask. If you require multiple masks to be fitted, please book a 20-minute block for each mask. We aim to ensure proper protection and minimize the risk of inhaling harmful materials. Don’t compromise your safety.
