How do you fit a full face respirator?

Published in Safety Equipment 1 min read

To fit a full face respirator correctly, ensure a tight and secure seal against your face by following these steps:

  1. Start with the bottom straps: Begin tightening the straps, making sure they are not twisted.
  2. Work upwards: Gradually tighten the remaining straps, moving from the bottom up.
  3. Avoid overtightening: Tighten the straps enough to create a secure seal, but not so much that it becomes uncomfortable.
  4. Check for hair interference: Ensure that no hair is trapped between the respirator and your face, as this can compromise the seal.
  5. Adjust positioning: Fine-tune the mask's position on your face to optimize the seal and comfort.
