Course Details
Alpha Safety provides Qualitative Face Fit Certification, however, if face fit testing is something that you wish to conduct internally, this course is designed to provide you with the competence and knowledge to be able to do just that. Long-term, this course provides large cost benefits for organisations where qualitative face-fit testing is a regular occurrence.
The training programme aims to equip students with the knowledge to conduct a face fit test with the use of a qualitative face fitting kit, in addition to key knowledge of respiratory hazards and control measures.
The course is delivered by our experienced tutors. As such, tutors will also be able to provide extensive guidance on equipment; from FFP1, FFP2 and FFP3 disposable masks, through to P1, P2 & P3 half masks. This ensures that you are protected, safe in the knowledge that operatives are equipped with the correct RPE.
Periodic refresher training for this course is recommended to ensure maintenance of up to date legislation and best practice & testing procedures.
Need the kit? We can Help...
At Alpha, we understand that this may be something new to many organisations. If you require the equipment in addition to the knowledge to undertake in-house qualitative face fit testing we can provide both at £450 +VAT

Qualitative testing can be carried out for RPE brought along by a delegate on this course and certified for 1 year's use. To take advantage of this, students must arrive with their own allocated mask that they intend to wear during operation. Delegates must be clean shaven and no food, drink or nicotine is to be consumed in the 30 minutes prior to the face fit test.
