Respiratory Fit Testing for OSHA Compliance
Qualitative fit testing (QLFT) for N95, half-face, and full-face respirators, ensuring OSHA 1910.134 compliance.
What to Expect
The process includes sensitivity screening, instruction on putting on and removing the respirator, user seal checks, the full QLFT protocol, and documentation of results for compliance.
⚠️ Important:
OSHA requires a medical evaluation before fit testing. Employers must arrange this with a licensed provider, as FACTS does not provide medical evaluations.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Qualitative fit testing is an OSHA-approved method used to determine whether a respirator properly seals to your face. It uses a test agent—such as saccharin or Bitrex—that can be detected by taste or smell. If you can’t detect the agent during the test, your respirator fits correctly.
-
OSHA requires fit testing annually or sooner if there are changes that could affect the fit of your respirator, such as weight fluctuations, facial hair changes, dental work, or switching to a different respirator model or size.
-
Yes. OSHA regulations require that participants complete a medical evaluation before any fit testing. We can provide referral resources upon request to help you complete this requirement.
-
We provide qualitative fit testing for N95, half-face, and full-face respirators. Testing ensures your equipment meets OSHA 1910.134 compliance and provides optimal protection.
-
Arrive clean-shaven in the respirator’s sealing area—facial hair can compromise the fit. Avoid eating, drinking (except water), smoking, or chewing gum for at least 15 minutes before the test to ensure accurate results.
