Fit2Fit is one of the British Safety Industry Federation’s (BSIF) flagship initiatives, dedicated to raising standards and professionalism in Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) fit testing across the UK.
PPE Media Ltd fully supports the Fit2Fit programme and encourages all users and suppliers to prioritise accredited fit testing when RPE is required in the workplace.
What is Fit2Fit?
Fit2Fit is the BSIF’s official accreditation scheme for competent RPE fit testers. It sets a recognised industry benchmark for quality, consistency and compliance in fit testing services.
Key elements include:
- Independent accreditation of fit testers
- Adherence to a strict Code of Practice
- Regular competency assessments and CPD requirements
- Use of the official Fit2Fit logo as a mark of verified competence
Why Fit2Fit Matters
Correct fit testing is a legal requirement under the UK COSHH Regulations (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) whenever tight-fitting RPE is used. Poorly fitted masks can dramatically reduce protection levels, putting workers at risk.
Fit2Fit-accredited testers help ensure:
- Reliable, repeatable fit test results
- Proper selection and use of RPE
- Compliance with HSE guidance and legal duties
- Reduced risk of respiratory hazards in the workplace
Who Should Use Fit2Fit Accredited Testers?
- Employers providing tight-fitting RPE (full-face masks, half-face masks, disposable FFP3 respirators, etc.)
- Safety managers and health & safety professionals
- Suppliers offering RPE fit testing services
- Anyone responsible for respiratory protection programmes
