Respirator fit testing is a procedure to ensure that a tight-fitting respirator properly seals to the wearer’s face to provide the intended level of protection against airborne hazards. This is quite important since poor fit can cause exposure to probably harmful particles, which seriously compromises safety.
Fit testing must be performed before the first time a respirator is used, annually, and whenever there are any changes in the user’s facial structure―for example, dental work or major weight loss or gain―that could affect the fit.
Yes, facial hair—beards or stubble—can break the respirator seal, causing leaks and effectiveness loss. It’s good to be clean-shaven in all areas where the respirator contacts the face for an effective seal.
