Ensure your workforce is medically fit, properly trained, and fully prepared to wear respirators in high-risk environments.
Through our partnership with RapidMEQ®, Sentry Safety Solutions provides a comprehensive respiratory protection program that ensures every worker meets OSHA’s stringent standards for respiratory fit testing and protection. This program includes all required steps: medical evaluations (MEQs), fit testing, and training in respirator use. By following a structured stage-gate process, we help you build a workforce that is fully certified, trained, and prepared for safe operations.
State-of-the-art and digital solution for increased safety during maintenance, turnarounds, and shutdowns.
Why Choose Sentry Safety for Respiratory Fit Testing?
Respiratory fit testing verifies that workers can safely and effectively use respirators to protect themselves in environments where air quality poses a risk. This process ensures that each respirator fits securely, preventing ambient air from entering. It also confirms that workers are medically capable of wearing a respirator without compromising their health.
To comply with OSHA 1910.134, each organization must have a Respiratory Protection Policy in place. This policy ensures that employees are medically fit to wear a respirator and allows workers the choice of respirator that fits them best. Fit testing follows a structured three-step process:
- Medical Evaluation (MEQ): A HIPAA-compliant, pass/fail series of questions designed to assess an individual’s fitness to wear a respirator. If flagged responses (e.g., “yes” to key questions) arise, a further medical review or pulmonary function test may be required.
- Quantitative Fit Testing: Measures the seal of the respirator to ensure it is airtight and effective.
- Respirator Training: Educates workers on the proper use, maintenance, and limitations of their respirators.
