Tight fitting respiratory protective equipment (RPE)

Training course on tight-fitting respiratory protective equipment

This course is aimed at all staff or students who currently wear or will be required to wear tight fitting facemasks (for example 3M7500). Hands on training will be provided during your facefit test, but this course should also be completed to enhance your understanding of how to safely use RPE, as well as its limitations.

Course outline

The course covers the requirement for risk assessment and other control measures before going into more detail about what you can expect during a facefit test and how to look after your reusable mask.

It is recommended that this course is completed annually as a refresher following a hands on training session during facefit testing.
