Frequently asked questions about respiratory protection mask testing (FAQ)

Question: Why is it necessary to carry out regular fit tests using test solutions in the workplace?
Answer: Even the best respirator mask only provides reliable protection if it fits absolutely tightly. Even small facial hairs or minimal shifts whilst working can lead to the inhalation of harmful substances. The Bitter test solution immediately detects such leaks during the fit test by its taste.
