Anyone issued with a tight-fitting mask must be fit tested for each make, model and size they use – the test establishes whether an adequate seal exists between the respirator and the wearer's face. Training an in-house tester keeps that testing consistent and takes the cost of external testing out of the equation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho is the Face Fit Train the Tester Course Suitable For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHealth and safety managers, supervisors, stores and PPE controllers and anyone else who will be responsible for fit testing colleagues. HSE guidance INDG479 requires fit testing to be carried out by a trained and competent person, which is what this course provides. Note that it trains delegates to conduct qualitative testing, not to teach the subject to others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included in the Face Fit Train the Tester Course?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTutor-led training with hands-on practice using the hood and taste method, plus guidance on RPE selection, record keeping and the monthly mask checks the law requires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDelivery Method\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClassroom, 09:00 to 14:00, at the training centre on Lymedale Business Park, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire – just off the A34 and close to junction 16 of the M6.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCourse Duration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 day\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCourse Content\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy fit testing is required – the duty to control substances hazardous to health and HSE guidance HSG53 and INDG479\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdequacy and suitability of RPE – matching the device to the wearer, the task and the environment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQualitative hood and taste testing for half-face reusable and disposable masks, and where quantitative testing is needed instead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting up the equipment and running the test exercises\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitivity testing and interpreting a pass or fail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommon causes of failure, including facial hair, and how to handle retests\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecording results and the monthly RPE checks that must be kept for five years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAssessment \/ Examination\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePractical assessment of delegates conducting a fit test under supervision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCertification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuccessful delegates receive a certificate of training as a qualitative face fit tester.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRelated Content\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/face-fit-courses\"\u003eFace Fit Testing courses\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ukata-non-licensed-asbestos-work\"\u003eUKATA Non-licensed Asbestos Work courses\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/training-courses-in-staffordshire-uk\"\u003eTraining courses in Staffordshire\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PPS Environmental","offers":[{"title":"Dates Coming Soon","offer_id":58479826010456,"sku":null,"price":175.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/7126\/7672\/files\/PPS-Environmental-logo.png?v=1789542562","url":"https:\/\/www.envicourse.com\/products\/face-fit-train-the-tester-newcastle-under-lyme","provider":"envicourse.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
