N95 fit testing

Kettering Health is a blended N95 and PAPR organization, and as a result, OSHA requires annual fit testing to ensure a maximum level of respiratory protection.

To complete the mandatory compliance, we ask those required to complete a qualitative fit test to safely identify the brand and size of N95 respirator to use.

• If unable to be safely placed in an N95 respirator, staff will be declared as a PAPR-only wearer.
• The most common reason for failing is due to facial hair. Please make sure facial hair is trimmed/groomed accordingly here.

Not sure if you need to be fit tested? If you meet the criteria below, you do need to be fit tested.

• Perform aerosolizing procedure on patients
• Perform job duties on units with negative pressure rooms
• Work in Police/Security, EVS, Facilities
• Handle/Administer hazardous drugs
