Face Fit Testing

HSE FACE FIT TESTING

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) stipulates that respiratory protective equipment (RPE) must provide adequate protection for the individual wearers from potentially dangerous dust and fumes to protect their lungs. To do this a secure and leakproof fit must be made, as one of the most common causes for inadequate protection is a poorly fitting mask.

Great teacher, would recommend his courses and will come back to him in future.

Paul was a very good teacher. Easy to understand and helped me when needed. I felt comfortable in his classroom and confident to ask questions. When friends ask, I will recommend.

Very knowledgable and passionate tutor

When arriving, I was nervous and unsure of my abilities. The trainer made me feel at ease as soon as I came in. If I needed to ask questions I did, and they were answered clearly and in a way I understood. The practical work was challenging but my trainer guided me through and made it as interesting as possible. Will definitely be recommending this company.
