Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at info@respiratorfit.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Yes. OSHA requires a medical evaluation to determine if an employee is physically able to wear a respirator. This evaluation must be completed before the fit test and respirator use.
Any employee required to wear a tight-fitting respirator (such as N95, half-face, or full-face respirators) as part of their job duties must undergo a fit test annually, as per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134.
OSHA mandates that fit testing be conducted:
- Before first use of a respirator
- Annually thereafter
- Whenever there is a change in the user’s facial features, weight, or the type/brand/model of respirator used
- Qualitative fit testing uses taste, smell, or irritation to determine if the respirator fits properly. It's typically used for half-face and N95 respirators.
- Quantitative fit testing uses a machine to measure leakage and is more precise, often required for full-face respirators or when higher protection is needed.
Employers must retain:
- Medical clearance records
- Fit test results and certificates
- Respiratory Protection Program documentation
These must be kept for the duration of employment plus 30 years.
Fit testing is required for:
- N95 and other filtering facepiece respirators
- Elastomeric half-face and full-face respirators
- Powered air-purifying respirators (PAPRs) with tight-fitting facepieces

WE ASSIST IN VERIFYING AND DOCUMENTING NEGATIVE PRESSURE ROOM COMPLIANCE
WE ASSIST IN VERIFYING AND DOCUMENTING NEGATIVE PRESSURE ROOM COMPLIANCE AS PART OF OUR COMPREHENSIVE SAFETY SERVICES.
Certain rooms within a healthcare facility are required to maintain positive or negative air pressure relative to adjacent spaces to support infection control and safety protocols.
- Positive pressure rooms are typically used to protect patients, sterile equipment, or clean supplies by keeping contaminants out.
- Negative pressure rooms, on the other hand, are designed to contain airborne contaminants, preventing them from spreading to other areas.
The 2014 FGI Guidelines (Standard 170-2013) outline specific room types that should maintain either positive or negative pressure relative to surrounding spaces to ensure proper environmental control. The following are examples of positively pressurized rooms:
- Operating rooms
- Delivery rooms
- Trauma rooms
- Newborn intensive care
- Laser eye rooms
- Protective environment rooms
- Pharmacy
- Laboratory, media transfer
- Central Medical and Surgical Supply Clean workrooms
- Central Medical and Surgical Supply Sterile Storage
Negative Pressure Room Compliance Matters
According to FGI Guidelines, certain hospital and outpatient facility rooms must be negatively pressurized to prevent the spread of airborne contaminants.
Examples include:
- ER and radiology waiting areas
- Triage and toilet rooms
- Airborne Infection Isolation (AII) rooms
- Labs (pathology, histology, microbiology, etc.)
- Autopsy and decontamination rooms
- Soiled workrooms, janitor closets, and trash chute rooms
Negative pressure in these rooms helps contain airborne pathogens and hazardous chemicals, protecting patients, staff, and visitors. Without proper pressure, contaminants like tuberculosis bacteria or chemical vapors (e.g., formaldehyde) can drift into adjacent areas, causing health risks and regulatory violations.
We provide on-site testing to verify and document compliance—helping you maintain a safe, code-compliant environment.
