Respiratory Protection - importance of Fit

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.

1st session: Respiratory Protection and the importance of Fit

The first session of the webinar series will give an overview about the different categories of respiratory protection and their different functionality. Our experts Stephanie Lynch and Janina Sander will discuss the importance of fit for the proper work of different respirator types. You will learn why it is important to have a selection of different respirator models and styles available for your workforce.Before opening up the floor for a Q&A session the two will show more details on the webinar series, share dates and topics of future sessions.
