Respiratory Protection

Respirators serve as essential protective gear, shielding workers from a myriad of airborne hazards encountered in various occupational settings. However, the efficacy of these respiratory protection devices hinges on a proper fit test, ensuring a secure seal and optimal protection against hazardous contaminants. TSI® offers cutting-edge respiratory protection testing solutions, helping organizations to uphold stringent safety standards and safeguard employee health in the face of respiratory threats.

Critical Role in Protecting Workers

Respirator fit testing plays a pivotal role in mitigating occupational hazards by ensuring the effectiveness of respiratory protective equipment. Through rigorous testing protocols, organizations can verify the adequacy of respirator seals, minimizing the risk of exposure to environmental pollutants, chemical agents, and airborne biohazards. 

Enhanced Compliance and Safety Standards

By leveraging advanced testing technologies, organizations can accurately assess respirator fit and adherence to established safety protocols. This proactive approach not only ensures regulatory compliance but also enhances workplace safety culture, fostering a conducive environment for employee well-being and productivity.

Data-Driven Decision-Making for Respiratory Safety

Provide staff with a respirator fit test they can both learn from and count on. PortaCount Fit Testers combine real-time and real-world measurements to advance respirator safety beyond whay any other fit test can deliver. Real-time measurement not only allows you to quickly find the correct size mask, but also provides staff with a greater understanding on how and when their respirator best protects them. Real-world measurements evaluate respirator fit during actual movement.
