Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) FFT
Ensuring your team is protected with the highest industry standards using both Qualitative and Quantitative methods:
Quantitative (QNFT)
The “Digital” Method: Provides a numerical measure of the seal (Fit Factor) using the TSI Portacount 8048.
- Mandatory for Full-Face Respirators.
- Cannot be manipulated by the wearer.
- Highly objective and data-driven.
Qualitative (QLFT)
The “Taste” Method: Relies on the wearer’s taste response to detect leakage using Bitrex or Saccharin.
- Best for Disposable (FFP) and Half-Masks.
- Cost-effective for high-volume site testing.
- Disposable RPE remains wearable after the test.
