Mask Fit Testing

Breath for Life performs qualitative mask fit testing performed by its Occupational Health Trained Professional; testing follows legislative and CSA standards.

As mask manufactures have produced a vast array of different makes, models and sizes of masks, Breath for Life does not stock or supply masks for fit-testing. It is important that you know the mask that you will be expected to wear and You must supply your own mask for fit-testing. Fit-testing determines whether a mask seal is preserved through various challenges. If a seal is not maintained throughout the test, the mask is an improper fit.

A mask fit test places the wearer of the mask under various testing conditions to challenge the mask seal. If the seal is maintained throughout the test, it means the mask is a proper fit and should not be switched out for any other untested mask. Variables that affect a successful fit test include: the quality of mask, mask size and facial features (being clean shaven is mandatory). Not every mask is of equal quality and the mask you select for fitting, or want to use, must be specific to your facial size and features. Not every mask fits properly and not every fit test is successful. If you are successfully fit-tested a certificate will be issued to you. Certificates are valid for 2 years.
