Tight-fitting respirators must seal to the wearer’s face in order to provide expected protection. This includes disposable respirators (also called “filtering facepieces”). In Singapore, workers who need to wear respirators at work are required to undergo a medical assessment for fitness to use respirators. Workers with certain medical conditions such as lung problems may not be medically fit to use respirators. Please refer to the Singapore Standard SS 548:2009: Code of Practice for Selection, use and maintenance of respiratory protective devices for additional details.

In addition, fit tests should be performed:

  • Whenever a different size, style, model or make of respirator is used.
  • When any facial changes occur that could affect fit, such as significant weight fluctuation or dental work.

Qualitative Fit Test (QLFT)

A qualitative fit test (QLFT) may only be used to fit-test:

  • Negative-pressure, air-purifying respirators, as long as they’ll only be used in atmospheres where the hazard is at less than 10 times the permissible exposure limit (PEL).
  • Tight-fitting facepieces used with powered and atmosphere-supplying respirators.

Each QLFT method uses seven exercises performed for 1 minute each:

  • Normal breathing.
  • Deep breathing.
  • Moving head side to side.
  • Moving head up and down.
  • Bending over (or jogging in place if the fit test unit doesn’t permit bending at the waist).
  • Talking.
  • Normal breathing again.
