This course is perfect for those employers who provide a range of Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) to employees and are responsible for carrying out Qualitative Face Fit Testing (QLFT) on tight fitting RPE. In addition, this course is also suitable for those implementing relevant Health and Safety related risk assessments, safe systems of work and robust face fit testing management programs.
Our fit2fit accredited QLFT course is also a fantastic stepping stone for those persons wishing to advance to attempt personal fit2fit accreditation status for QLFT, whilst learning ‘best practice’ and preparing them appropriately for the assessment process.
One of only 8 accredited courses across the UK, our Qualitative Face Fit Testing course has been designed and approved by fit2fit (BSIF), and endorsed by the HSE, in accordance with the detailed requirements of the training syllabus and meets the gold standard for Qualitative Face Fit Testing. This course is delivered by fully approved and accredited fit2fit experienced practitioners.
This course will provide potential testers with an in-depth knowledge of conducting Face Fit Testing using the Qualitative method. In addition, a full and detailed overview of all aspects of RPE. If you provide Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) to your employees, or are responsible for Health and Safety within your organisation, then it is essential that the right type and level of RPE is selected and Face Fit Testing is carried out correctly with documentary evidence to demonstrate the RPE is suitable for the wearer.
