respirator-fit-testing-qualify-your-competency

The ESF webinar “Respirator Fit Testing – Qualify your competency” will talk about all aspects of competency of fit test operators and the qualification schemes.

After providing an overview about the current European situation, we will take a closer look on the different competencies required in the international fit test protocol of ISO 16975-3 and compare these ones with the competencies required by the Fit2Fit qualification scheme. We will also hear about the evaluation of competency in these two different standards.

Afterwards we will hear about the development of the Fit2Fit qualification scheme, the experiences of countries taking over the Fit2Fit scheme or designing their own system.

The webinar will be rounded up by a Q&A session in which all participants are invited to ask their questions to the panel of experts who talked before.
