Join us in Reading for an in‑person session covering the fundamentals of respirators, correct use in the workplace and how to select an appropriate fit‑testing approach.

You’ll learn:

  • the fundamentals of different types of respirators and how they work
  • how to correctly don and use respiratory protective equipment
  • the key fit‑testing methods available, and how to decide which is most appropriate.

It’s a great opportunity to build confidence in face fit testing, refresh your knowledge, ask questions and connect with others committed to improving workplace health and safety.
