Face Fit Testing

Face Fit Testing (TSI PortaCount)

Why Face Fit Testing Matters

When working with respiratory protective equipment (RPE), it’s essential to make sure the mask provides an effective seal to protect the wearer from harmful substances. A poorly fitting mask may put health and safety at risk. Face Fit Testing is a legal requirement under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations.

Our Service

Transform Training provides quantitative Face Fit Testing using the TSI PortaCount® — the industry’s gold standard for accuracy and reliability. Unlike qualitative testing methods, the PortaCount quantitatively measures the effectiveness of the mask seal, giving objective results that can’t be influenced by taste, smell, or wearer bias.

  • Compliant with HSE guidance – ensuring legal and safety obligations are met.
