NOTE: You must complete the Respirator Fit Tester Orientation, a 30-minute Free OnDemand Course, ideally 7-30 days before taking the Instructor-Led Respirator Fit Tester Training.

After completing the Respirator Fit Tester Orientation part 1, you are ready to put your learnings to the test. You will refresh your memory on theory before tackling the ultimate challenge: donning and doffing the N95 respirator, performing a user seal check, comfort assessment, and fit testing. The instructor will provide valuable feedback and demos to ensure you are using the proper technique.

Prepare for an In-Depth Look at Respiratory Protection:

• The importance of respiratory protection and how to test for proper fit
• How airborne diseases spread and techniques for self-protection
• Laws and standards that pertain to respiratory protection programs
• Different types of respirators, how to choose them, and how to maintain them
• Essential components of a respiratory protection program
• Hands-on training in the art of qualitative fit testing (QLFT)

IMPORTANT! Respirator Fit Tester Training consists of three parts:

• Part I: Pre-requisite a 30-minute eLearning theory component, Respirator Fit Tester Orientation;
• Part II: a 3-hour virtual Instructor-Led theory review and practical demonstration and receive an 80% or better on the quiz
• Part III: a 1-2-hour practical component (virtual or in-person, no additional cost for this part) where you will demonstrate a qualitative fit test during a 1:1 session with a CCSA Health and Safety Consultant.

This course is particularly relevant to industries such as healthcare, where respiratory protection is essential.

The Respirator Fit Tester Training doesn’t certify participants to train others to be fit testers, nor does it qualify participants to conduct fit testing as a paid service. Successful program completion enables learners to fit test their colleagues within their organization.
