(A) This program anticipates that the vast majority of fit tests required will be Quantitative Fit Tests. The individual quantitative fit tests will be administered by an individual who has received training in quantitative fit testing or by other individuals specifically approved by the Program Administrator. Fit tests will follow the protocols set forth in 29 CFR 1910.134(f).
(B) Fit tests will be repeated annually for all persons with a continuing need to use a respirator.
(C) All persons should remember that it is not the employee who passes or fails a fit test, it is the respirator. Employees should be cognizant that "fudging" to pass the fit test puts the employee at risk as a respirator that does not fit properly will not afford the respirator's user the maximum level of protection.
