Qualitative Face Fit Testing (QLFT) | A&N Safety Consultants

Qualitative Face Fit Testing (QLFT)

QLFT is an HSE-approved method for checking that tight-fitting masks form an effective seal on the wearer’s face. The process uses a harmless odour or taste test to confirm whether air is leaking into the mask. It’s a quick, straightforward way to ensure your Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) is fit for purpose.
