Quantitative Fit Test (QNFT)

The fit test is essential for personnel who are working in the oil and gas industry initially assigned to a job that requires the use of tight-fitting respirators. OSHA’s Respiratory Protection Standard and other occupational health and safety (OHS) regulations require employers to perform and document fit tests for every worker who wears a respirator and for every covered respirator type used in your workplace to make sure workers are protected to the highest possible degree.

Endeavour Energy Sdn Bhd can provide Quantitative Fit Test (QNFT) by using half face, full face and SCBA respirator. A quantitative fit test is an assessment of respirator fit based on numerical measurement of leakage into the respirator. A scientific instrument is used to measure leakage around the face seal and the resulting measurement is used to calculate a numerical fit factor. The fit factor requirements are consistent across all QNFT protocols with a fit factor of at least 100 required to satisfy testing requirements for half-mask respirators and a minimum fit factor of 500 for full facepiece respirators.

Upon successful completion of the fit test, Endeavour Energy Sdn Bhd will issue a certificate indicating the results and the validity of 2 years.
