Safety Activity: Fit Test Respirators using WAC 296-842-22010
Safety Topic: Important Information for Employees: You need to conduct a seal check each time you put your respirator on; before you enter the respirator use area. The purpose of a seal check is to make sure your respirator (which has been previously fit-test by your employer) is properly positioned on your face to prevent leakage during use and to detect functional problems.
