What to do on that day?

1. Clean Shaving: Participants are required to be clean-shaven on the day of the fit test. This is essential for a proper seal and accurate fit of the respirator. Please refer to the instruction sheet for more details.

2. Item to bring: Please bring more than one mask type to your fit testing session, just in case the test fails on one of them.

3. Pre-Test Preparations: Please refrain from smoking, eating, or drinking anything other than water 30 minutes prior to your fit test. This precaution ensures the accuracy of the testing process.

4. Being punctual: A calendar invite with the individual fit testing schedule will be provided closer to the actual date. Each session is approximately 15 minutes long, and we kindly request that you arrive 2-3 minutes earlier than your designated slot, it helps in the efficiency of the testing process.

Notification of Unavailability: If you are unable to attend the fit testing on that day, we kindly request that you notify FEIT Safety Team (safety.feit@uts.edu.au), AND your Supervisor at your earliest convenience (more than 24 hours in advance). If possible, please make arrangements with a colleague to take over your slot. Please note there is a per person cost associated with carrying out the test, which FEIT Safety is covering, if you do not attend on the day of your fit test this results in a financial loss to UTS.

We appreciate your cooperation in adhering to these guidelines, as they are crucial for the effectiveness of the fit testing sessions. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
