Respirator Fit Testing

The right fit. Every time.

Respirator fit testing is a legal requirement for any worker who wears tight-fitting respiratory protective equipment in hazardous environments. QSG provides professional quantitative fit testing services using calibrated equipment to verify that each respirator provides an effective seal for the individual wearing it, in line with Australian Standards and WHS legislation. Testing is conducted at our Townsville office or, for group bookings, we can attend on-site or at your workplace, with individual certificates and detailed records provided for each respirator test.

Who we support

QSG offers a complete respirator fit testing service covering everything from initial testing and certification through to respirator supply and worker education. Each aspect of our service is designed to be straightforward, efficient and fully documented, giving your business the records it needs and your workers the confidence that their equipment is protecting them.

Businesses across construction, mining, industrial and healthcare sectors where workers are exposed to airborne contaminants such as silica dust, asbestos, chemicals or biological hazards, and where fit testing is a legislative, contractual or project requirement.

Quantitative Fit Testing

Professional fit testing using advanced calibrated equipment to provide objective, quantitative measurements of mask leakage for each individual worker. Suitable for half-face disposable and reusable respirators and full-face respirators.

On-Site and Office Testing

Fast testing conducted at your workplace, project site or at our Townsville office, with flexible scheduling to minimise disruption to your operations.

Compliance Documentation

Individual fit test certificates and detailed test reports for every worker tested, with records aligned to WHS and client-specific requirements.

Respirator Education and Guidance

Respirator and Filter Supply

QSG maintains a stock of disposable and reusable respirators and replacement filters available for purchase, ensuring your team has access to the right equipment when they need it.

Why it matters

Legislative Compliance

Fit testing is a mandatory requirement under WHS legislation and AS/NZS 1715. Ensuring your workers are tested for tight-fitting RPE is required on an annual basis.

Verified Protection

Quantitative testing removes any uncertainty around whether a respirator is providing an effective seal, giving you and your workers confidence that their protection is working as intended.

Worker Health

Improperly fitted respirators expose workers to airborne contaminants that can cause long-term health conditions. Fit testing is a practical solution a business can take to protect its people.

Client and Project Requirements

Many contracts require fit testing records as part of their HSEQ obligations. QSG provides the documentation you need to meet those requirements.

Our approach

Each worker is tested individually using quantitative fit-testing equipment that provides an objective, quantitative measure of mask leakage. Each worker receives a wallet-sized card recording their test details, respirator specifications and fit factor result. A full report and individual certificates are provided to the employer for their records.

Testing is conducted at our Townsville office, or for group bookings, we can attend your workplace or project site. Where workers are found to require a different size or model of respirator to achieve an adequate fit, we can advise on suitable alternatives and supply replacement respirators and filters on the day when stock is available.

Individual Fit Test Certificates

A personalised certificate is issued to every worker tested, confirming their respirator fit test result and the equipment tested.

Detailed Fit Test Reports

Comprehensive reports with quantitative results for every test, providing a clear record of outcomes for your records and client requirements.

Compliance Records

Testing records are maintained and provided in a format aligned to WHS legislation and client-specific requirements.

Respirator Education Materials

Written guidance on correct donning and doffing techniques, seal checks and best practices for respirator maintenance and storage.

Respirator and Filter Supply

A range of disposable and reusable respirators, as well as replacement filters, is available for purchase at the time of testing.

Scheduling and Booking Support

Flexible scheduling options, including on-site attendance for group bookings and office-based testing, with straightforward booking arrangements to minimise disruption.
