What's Included
GMG’s fit testing services are delivered at your location and structured to meet all OSHA 1910.134 requirements. Each element of the process ensures employees are properly protected, trained, and documented.
We verify that each employee has completed OSHA-required medical clearance before testing begins.
We conduct pass/fail tests using agents like Bitrex or saccharin for N95s and half-masks in low-exposure environments.
We use instruments like PortaCount to measure exact leakage into the mask, required for full-face and high-risk roles.
We verify each employee’s respirator model, size, and style to match their role and facial characteristics.
We provide hands-on guidance to ensure employees can properly don their respirator and perform seal checks each time.
We issue detailed records of all tests, including model numbers and results, for OSHA compliance and internal use.
We offer optional reminders and scheduling support to keep your team compliant with annual testing requirements.
WHO IS THIS SERVICE FOR
This service is essential for employees in construction, manufacturing, auto body, welding, healthcare, hazardous materials handling, and other environments where respirators are required. OSHA mandates that all tight-fitting respirator users be fit tested before use and at least annually. GMG delivers both qualitative and quantitative fit testing at your location, customized to your equipment and workforce.
WHY IT MATTERS
Respirators that don’t seal correctly can allow dangerous contaminants to enter the breathing zone, putting workers at serious risk. Improper fit is one of the top causes of respiratory protection failure, and one of the most cited OSHA violations. Fit testing confirms the right model, size, and fit for each individual. GMG helps you meet the regulation and protect your team with precise, efficient testing that fits your operation.
We guide you through the entire process, from sign up to implementation. This needs to be a real introductory paragraph that works across all sub sub pages.
We coordinate a fit testing day that works with your team’s schedule and facility operations.
Employees must have medical clearance and be clean-shaven where the respirator seals.
We perform qualitative or quantitative tests using your approved respirators and employee list.
Client Success
Answers to common questions about fit testing methods, OSHA requirements, medical clearance, and how GMG ensures your team is safe, sealed, and fully compliant.
Qualitative testing is a pass/fail method using taste or smell to detect leaks. Quantitative testing uses a machine to measure actual leakage and assign a numerical fit factor.
Any employee who wears a tight-fitting respirator, such as N95, half-face, or full-face respirators, must be fit tested before use and at least annually.
Yes. OSHA requires a medical evaluation to confirm the employee is physically able to wear a respirator before any fit testing is performed.
Typically 10–20 minutes per employee, depending on the type of test and number of respirators tested.
Yes. We offer both qualitative (Bitrex/saccharin) and quantitative (instrumented) testing, depending on your equipment and risk level.
