Respiratory Fit Testing for ½ & full face Air Purifying Respirators (with cartridges) will be offered Friday, March 18, 2016. Location: Memorial Hall, Rm 308.

Respiratory Fit Testing is required annually for anyone who uses a respirator in order to ensure a proper fit. Please book a 30-minute time slot through Angela Deighan in Research Services for both sessions, either by email at adeighan@upei.ca or by phone (902) 628-4308. Individuals must take their respirator or purchase one for the fit testing. As per the CSA Standard, faces must be clean shaven in order to have a respiratory fit test. Note that fit testing and respiratory supplies are departmental costs.
