Afternoon all,

I am preparing a training programme for people using RPE and would like to be able to demonstrate the need for fit testing/selecting the right mask.

Short of filling the room with bitrex, does anyone have any clips of a dummy or similar with face mask on, and a contaminant getting in through poor seals?

Check with your PPE/RPE supplier, or go direct to the manufacturer? Arco used to do some sort of kit for this, back in the day!

Sorry, if you have already tried that.
