A respirator fit test consists of a safety check to assess if a specific respirator model seals properly to your face while protecting you from breathing in airborne respiratory hazards and chemicals.
The test simulates real-life conditions while you perform movements and breathe normally while wearing the mask to see if any leaks are present and if your mask seals tightly. Masks that don’t fit right won’t protect you from exposure to harmful particles.
When you have a respirator fit test, it can help determine the proper size and style of respirator for you.

Portland Urgent Care provides several types of respirator fit testing to ensure workers receive the right level of protection when they’re on the job.
The testing services we provide include an N95 respirator fit test, and these masks are used in many healthcare and industrial settings. We also test half-face and full-face respirators to ensure they properly seal and function.
Our professional staff conducts both accurate qualitative and quantitative fit tests to verify OSHA compliance and ensure you are protected.
Federal safety regulations require employees who wear respirators on the job to have a respirator fit test to maintain compliance. Wearing a respirator mask that fits and seals properly will protect them from fumes, dust, chemicals, and other airborne contaminants.
Workers in industrial settings, healthcare professionals, or those who work in welding, demolition, chemical processing, painting, lab work, or in emergency response professions need to verify their respirator fits properly according to OSHA standards and forms a secure seal. Ensure a respirator fit test is completed after you have dental work, facial surgery, or you’ve experienced significant weight loss, to make sure it fits properly and protects you.

To ensure the results of your respirator fit test are accurate and compliant, review the respirator requirements for your workplace and bring the mask that you wear at work. Make sure you’re clean-shaven where the mask comes in contact with your face because facial hair prevents a proper seal. Don’t eat, drink, smoke, or chew gum before a qualitative test because these can interfere with testing. You should also avoid strong fragrances. The technician will ask you to follow their instructions while performing simple movements and breathing exercises.
Portland Urgent Care makes scheduling your appointment for a respirator fit test convenient. When you need to meet OSHA workplace safety requirements, our team provides fast and reliable testing. We’ll guide you through the testing process, whether you need an annual test or have a new job where testing is required.
