Has anyone out there had experience of fitment testing on disposable face masks? If so, did you have a competent person to carry out this task? We use FFP2 masks in one very dusty work site, and having read through the HSE guidance on RPE, it doesn't seem as straight forward as it looks!

Any help on this subject would be much appreciated.

Talk to your supplier / manufacturer regarding carrying out testing. If you have a lot of wearers they might also suggest training some of your folk to do the testing too. With disposable masks this is a simple process, admittedly the HSE guidance does make it seem complicated.

Best of luck
