Respiratory Protection - Fit Testing : why & how ?

ESF webinar series “Respirator Fit Testing – Everything you need to know”

The European Safety Federation is pleased to invite you to an upcoming webinar series organized by the ESF Working Group on Respiratory Protection.

As part of our ongoing efforts to address the proper use of respiratory protection, the working group is focusing on the small, but very important part of respirator selection: Respirator Fit Testing. This initiative aims to share basic knowledge about fit testing, its different methods and things to keep in mind when implementing fit testing.

We are preparing a series of brief, impactful webinars (30 minutes each), which will take place bi-monthly the penultimate Friday at 11 am CET. Every episode will be recorded and uploaded for re-watching and self-learning afterwards. We will have the series throughout 2026 and start with the first session on January 23.

2nd session: Fit Testing : why & how ?

The second session will focus on the questions of why and how to do fit testing. After we learned about the importance of fit in the first session, it is now time to talk about the reasons for fit testing. Our experts Adam Marczak and Janina Sander will present an overview of the different methods to perform fit tests. You will also learn about the different protocols you can or need to follow when performing fit tests.

Before opening up the floor for a Q&A session, you will also be informed about dates and topics of future sessions.
