Respirator Fit Testing
The number of people and facilities using respirators in the fight against COVID-19 has sky-rocketed. This has presented new challenges for organizations, as the regulations and guidelines around respirator fit testing must still be followed. For example, at one hospital the number of workers using respirators went from 30 to over 300.
That's a lot of testing required, especially since a typical fit test can run 7-8 minutes, plus another 3-5 minutes to complete the paperwork. The VelocityEHS RFT product can help trim that time down to 2.5 minutes per-person, a reduction of nearly 60%. You'll get back much needed time, and gain confidence that the proper protocols were followed and that you have a solid RFT tracking program in place.
What is the offer?
- 6 months free access to the VelocityEHS IH Respirator Fit Test software
- Includes full-featured product with easy-to-use controls
- Built-in access to COVID-19 respirator training videos
- N95 respirator use
- CDC’s provision for limited reuse of N95 respirators
The VelocityEHS RFT product helps you stay focused on the fight against COVID-19 by reducing test times, streamlining documentation and recordkeeping, standardizing RFT protocols, simplifying compliance with respiratory protection requirements.
