Respirator Selection Size

Regardless of facial dimensions and respirator sizing charts, an actual respirator fit test, either qualitative or quantitative must be performed to ensure selection of the correct respirator size.

Fit test the respirator size relative to your facial features and dimensions. The Safety Administrator or Program Manager might assist in selecting the initial size to try.

Carefully don the respirator and conduct a Negative Pressure Seal test. See donning instructions for procedure.

If the respirator does not pass the Negative Pressure Seal Test or feels uncomfortable, try the next size. If other than facial seal leakage is detected, the condition must be investigated and corrected before another test is made.

Passing the Negative Pressure Seal Test does not verify that the size is correct. Size selection must be verified by successfully passing either a qualitative or quantitative Respirator Fit Test. If the respirator passes a Negative Pressure Seal Test but DOES NOT pass a Respirator Fit Test, try the next size.

Once the correct size is selected, the respirator must pass a Negative Pressure Seal Test every time the mask is donned to ensure proper fit before using the respirator.

The respirator must also pass the tightness test before the user attempts to enter a toxic atmosphere.

The respirator will not furnish protection unless all inhaled air is drawn through a suitable canister/cartridge(s).

RESPIRATOR FIT TEST
The user must perform a respirator fit test (Quantitative Test or Qualitative Test) and follow all warnings and limitations specified. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury or death.

A qualitative or quantitative respirator fit test must be routinely carried out for each wearer of this respirator to determine or confirm the amount of protection that the respirator provides. The fit test method chosen may impact the maximum use concentration.

Respirator fit tests are explained fully in the American National Standard Practices for Respiratory Protection, ANSI Z88.2-1992 which is published by the American National Standards Institute, 11 West 42nd Street, New York, New York, 10036 and Occupational Safety and Health Standards, OSHA 1910.134, which is published by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington DC, 20210.
