Fit Testing for SCBA Masks
At AOS, safety is our top priority. We understand the critical importance of guaranteeing the proper fit of SCBA masks for the protection of personnel in hazardous environments.
That's why our dedicated technicians meticulously perform fit testing on all individuals who are assigned their own structural masks. Our fit testing procedures adhere strictly to industry standards, including NFPA 1404 and 1500, OSHA 1910.134, NIOSH 42 CFR 84, and the AFOSHA Respiratory Protection Program.
Fit tests are not only a requirement but a fundamental aspect of safety protocol. They are conducted annually to ensure ongoing effectiveness. Additionally, fit testing is imperative after any major repair to face masks or respirators, as well as in cases of a 20% increase or decrease in the user's body weight.
Your department's safety is paramount to us. If fit testing is needed soon, please don't hesitate to contact AOS. We are here to ensure that your team has the necessary support.
