FAQ
Planning answers for employers, colleges, and program coordinators.
Can you plan recurring group sessions?
Yes. We coordinate annual workforce testing, new-hire groups, and repeat semester or cohort sessions for colleges and training programs. One organizational contact helps coordinate the location, participant preparation, and arrival schedule.
Can testing be scheduled around classes or shifts?
Evening, weekend, and other scheduling requests are reviewed in advance and confirmed in your proposal. Tell us your preferred dates and required testing window when requesting a quote.
Where do you provide service?
We bring testing to your workplace, campus, or project site. Based in Georgia. Serving projects nationwide. Travel and site requirements are defined in your quote.
How is a group session priced?
Pricing depends on the number of people and respirators, location, reserved hours, arrival pattern, and any additional services. Organized arrivals and a prepared group help use the testing window efficiently. Request a written quote for your actual session.
How long does a fit test take?
Allow approximately 8–10 minutes for a straightforward test, plus time for preparation, troubleshooting, or another respirator. We confirm the session capacity for your protocol, equipment, and participant schedule.
Are medical evaluations needed first?
Required medical evaluations must be completed before fit testing. Use your existing medical provider or ask us to coordinate the online evaluation service at $30 per employee. An independent licensed provider makes medical decisions; additional clinical services, if needed, are separate. Do not send medical answers through the quote form.
Which respirators can you test?
We use quantitative testing for supported N95 filtering facepieces and elastomeric half- and full-face respirators. For tight-fitting PAPR or SCBA facepieces, confirm the exact model, adapter, and protocol with us before scheduling. Loose-fitting hoods and helmets do not require a face-seal fit test.
How should participants prepare?
Bring the respirator make, model, and size identified for testing and follow the session preparation instructions. Facial hair must not interfere with the sealing surface or valve function. Share any additional equipment worn with the respirator so it can be considered in planning.
How often is fit testing required?
For required use of tight-fitting respirators, OSHA requires testing before initial use, at least annually, and when a different facepiece size, style, model, or make is used. Physical changes that could affect fit also require additional testing. See OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 for the governing requirements.
What if someone does not pass?
We document the result and discuss the next step, which may involve adjustments or a different model or size. Testing does not guarantee a passing result. Your quote identifies included repeat attempts and any additional testing charges.
What records will we receive?
Records identify the person tested, the respirator tested, date, test method, fit factor, and recorded result. Organizational summaries, delivery arrangements, and any additional reporting requirements are confirmed in your proposal.
How do we request a session?
Use Request a Quote and share your organization, testing location, estimated number of tests, and preferred timeframe. We follow up by email to clarify the scope, provide a written quote, and confirm the schedule through the agreed booking process. Larger projects and respiratory protection program support can be included in your request.
