Why It Matters
Protect Employees and Avoid Costly Violations
Respirators that don’t fit properly put employees at serious risk of exposure, and put employers at risk of citations, fines, and liability. OSHA requires fit testing before initial use, annually thereafter, and whenever changes occur in equipment or an employee’s condition. GMG’s structured procedures ensure compliance, reduce risks, and keep your workforce properly protected.

Understanding Respirator Fit Testing & Compliance
Clear answers about OSHA requirements, testing options, and how GMG helps you keep employees safe and programs compliant.
OSHA requires fit testing before initial use, annually, and whenever changes in respirator models, facial structure, or job hazards occur.
OSHA permits both qualitative (pass or fail sensory) and quantitative (instrument measured) fit testing. However, quantitative testing is required when respirators are used in higher exposure environments or when a tighter fitting facepiece is necessary.
