Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) is essential in safeguarding workers in various environments where airborne hazards are present. However, the effectiveness of RPE hinges on one critical factor: fit. If RPE leaks, it cannot provide the necessary protection, no matter how advanced the design. Since individuals come in different shapes and sizes, face fit testing is crucial. This process ensures that the equipment fits snugly and comfortably, tailored specifically to the wearer’s unique facial structure. Investing time in proper fit testing guarantees that every worker is adequately shielded from harmful particles, leading to a safer work environment. #SafetyFirst #FitTesting #RespiratoryProtection

When a firefighter feels pain or "bee sting like sensations" they are experiencing Alarm Time which is a warning before a second degree burn occurs.
