Respirator Fit
Respirator Fit
- Respirators must fit properly to prevent solvent vapor leaks around the edges.
- Fit-testing must be done before first wearing a respirator and annually thereafter.
- Beards are not allowed when wearing most respirators because they will leak.
- Some loose-fitting respirators such as Power Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) do not require fit-testing and can be used with beards.
