Train the fit tester
Upcoming Classes
About
This course prepares students to manage a respiratory program in the workplace.
Students will participate in classroom lectures as well as hands-on practice with various respiratory systems. Each person will be fit tested and assessed for proficiency.
We teach workers to understand the requirements of the Regulation, Act, and CSA standards for conducting respirator fit checks on workers. This involves knowing roles and duties, what is necessary in a respiratory program, and the primary causes of respiratory dangers. We will also discuss the many types of respirators, care, maintenance, and storage, as well as the distinction between filters and cartridges. Participants must show the procedure of a fit test and successfully finish an exam.

The duration of the fit test training course is 4.5 hours.
