advice on mask selectionOur extensive experience with respirators of all types from a variety ofmanufacturers means we can provide unbiased advice and consultationon the most suitable equipment for your application

Dramatic growth has been seen in the awareness of face fit testing since its introduction tothe COSHH 2002 Regulations.

Optimum performance of a close fitting respirator (disposable mask, half mask or full facemask) can only be achieved if it is established that it is fitting the operator’s face properly.

The importance of face fit testing must be matched by adequate training. All operators mustbe aware of the need of a good fit, as well as undergoing the actual fit test. Breathe Safetyprovide a comprehensive training service for those requirements.

As a prime service provider with significant experience we attend stakeholder consultationswith the HSE to keep abreast of legislative changes relating to all aspects of respiratoryprotection, in turn providing the best advice to the client.

Our technicians are not only experienced fit testers but also Fit2Fit accredited, providingcomplete competancy assurance, and the highest standards of face fit testing.
