"Since its launch in January, the Fit2Fit Accreditation scheme, for fit-testers of respiratory protective PPE, has been inundated with enquiries, which validates the need for such a scheme" said the scheme manager recently.
To date, almost 100 fit-testers have either qualified or are in the process of being assessed.
Whether fit-testers are employed within industrial organisations or are specialist service providers, their acquisition of accredited status will add confidence that respiratory protection will be much improved over the coming years. "A considerable number of respiratory diseases are caused because the protection being offered is not worn correctly or understood. As these accredited specialists carry out their work, there should be a progressive improvement in the protection being achieved" commented a BSIF spokesman.
