Respiratory Fit Testing

Posting Date(s)
Respiratory Fit Testing is required annually for anyone who uses a respirator in order to ensure a proper fit. Respiratory fit testing will take place on Friday, November 29 in Andrew Hall room 142. Individuals must take their respirator or purchase one for the fit testing. As per the CSA Standard, faces must be clean shaven in order to have a respiratory fit test. Note that fit testing and respiratory supplies are departmental costs. To register for a fit test time slot please contact Lacey Myers at ljmyers@upei.ca or 566-0605. To view the Respiratory Protection Program please see Section 4.9 in the UPEI Laboratory Safety Manual. http://hr.upei.ca/lab-safety. Prior to using a respirator, individuals are required to complete a UPEI Respirator User Screening Form and send it to HR. This form is located at the above link under "Appendices" (App.T, p.113-115).
