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.

However, quantitative testing is required when respirators are used in higher exposure environments or when a tighter fitting facepiece is necessary.
