Mask Fit Testing - N95

N95 Mask Fit Testing (Qualitative)

This is the standard method using a scent/taste test under a hood. 

IMPORTANT: Please check with your school or employer if they require specific mask models. If so, bring that list to your session and share it with your instructor. If your organization doesn't accept the mask used during testing, you may need to rebook. It’s the participant’s responsibility to confirm requirements in advance.

If your required mask model isn't listed, we can still complete your Fit Test if you bring the required mask with you. Please arrive on time as we are unable able to accommodate late participants. Our standard rescheduling policy applies.  

- Participants should be clean shaven if possible
- Participants should not smoke, vape, eat, or drink anything other than water up to 1 hour before their session
