Respirator Fit Testing (Qualitative & Quantitative)

Ensure your workers are protected and your organization is compliant with Cal-OSHA Section 5144 and OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134! Gold Health & Safety Consulting Inc. now provides professional fit testing for filtering facepiece, half-face, and full-face respirators. Available by appointment, at your location or ours. Our experienced staff can provide surveys, inspections, and consulting for asbestos and lead-based paint issues. We service residential, commercial, and institutional clients.

What We Offer

Qualitative Fit Testing (QLFT) – pass/fail method, using accepted test agents for tight-fitting respirators.
Quantitative Fit Testing (QNFT) – instrument-measured fit factor for half-face and full-face respirators.
Documentation – test records and fit test certificate to document compliance.
On-site or in-office testing – scheduled to minimize disruption to your operations.

Note: Medical evaluation and respirator training are required elements of your respiratory protection program. We can coordinate timing with your team as needed. Se Habla Espanol.
