MSA Qualitative Fit Test Kits - Banana Oil, Bitrex, Saccharin
The Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires fit tests to
ensure proper fit for workers who use respirators. There are two
accepted
methods to verify an adequate face-to-facepiece seal: quantitative
and qualitative testing. Quantitative testing methods rely on
objective data to determine a proper fit. With this type of test,
special facepiece adapters or probed facepieces allow
air samples to be drawn from inside a facepiece to determine if there are
any breaks in the facepiece seal. As a result, the test produces
quantifiable results. MSA Fit Test Equipment
Data (.pdf format) Qualitative fit test methods are subjective in nature
and rely on the judgment of the test subject. A proper fit is determined
if the respirator wearer does
not detect the taste or odor of a test solution in a controlled environment.
