Fit Testing (Quantitative)
Arctic Response are the sole providers of Quantitative Fit testing in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.
Our technicians will help your company with scheduling to make your Respiratory program run smoothly. We maintain a database of your information and send electronic copies of test results.
There are two primary reasons for Respirator Fit testing:
- Verification of Training – after the individual has received respirator training, a Fit test checks that the person has learned how to properly put on and wear a respirator without assistance.
- Sizing – It is important to make sure that the individual issued a respirator that is capable of providing protection when worn properly, that is, it is the right size.
We operate the new Portacount Pro +. The Portacount Pro Respirator Fit Tester eliminates the guesswork associated with tedious and error-prone qualitative fit test methods. No other fit tester can quantitatively fit test so many types of respirators – gas masks, SCBAs, respirators, even disposables. If the mask requires fit testing, count on the PortaCount Pro fit tester to provide the fastest, easiest and best OSHA-accepted fit test method.
We are fully mobile with our Fit Testing equipment and can provide services to mines, chemical plants, fire department and all companies that have employees who are required to wear respiratory protection.
