Employees who are required to wear a respirator may need a medical evaluation before using respiratory protection.

Our evaluation helps determine whether an employee is medically able to wear a respirator safely based on their health history and the requirements of their work.

Spirometry is a breathing test that measures how well the lungs are working.

It may be used for:

• Occupational health screening

• Respiratory surveillance

• Monitoring employees exposed to workplace respiratory hazards

• Evaluating lung function

• Supporting workplace respiratory protection programs

A proper fit is essential for a tight-fitting respirator to provide the intended protection.

Our fit-testing service helps determine whether a specific respirator model and size provides an appropriate seal for the individual wearer.

Fit testing may be required when employees use tight-fitting respirators as part of their job.
