Qualitative Mask Fit Testing
Did you know, under regulation, all workers who may be exposed to atmospheric hazards are required to wear a protective mask in BC. These masks must be appropriate to the work and be mask fit tested prior to exposure.
We offer 3M and WorksafeBC compliant qualitative mask fit testing. Our instructors are highly experienced in testing and can conduct the full process in as little as 15 minutes.
If you are located in Victoria, or the greater area feel free to contact us to book a time at our 605 Discovery Street location.
Please note: This is a qualitative mask fit testing. If your employer requires a quantitative test, please call us and we can assist in finding a location suitable for your needs.
Items We can Test
We provide fit testing for a wide range of masks, including:
- N95 Respiratory Masks (e.g., 3M 1870+, 3M 8210, 3M 1860, 3M 1860S)
- KN95 Masks (Please confirm with your employer or school if these are accepted)
- Half and Full Respiratory Protection Masks
- Other Workplace-Required Masks
Our fit tests are conducted in accordance with CSA and NIOSH standards.
All masks being tested must meet CSA, NIOSH, or CE requirements. If there is an absence of proper markings on the mask, we will be unable to fit test you with that device.
Certification Validity
Upon successful completion, participants receive workplace and academic-approved certification, valid for one year. Certification is provided immediately after the test.

Requirements for Fit Testing
To ensure accurate and effective mask fit testing:
- Avoid eating, drinking, smoking, or chewing gum within 15 minutes before your appointment.
- All facial hair that may interfere with a proper seal of the mask must be removed before the test can occur. If you have facial hair in this manner, you will be informed and the test will be canceled (As per regulations).
- If you are required to wear other personal protective equipment (e.g., ear protection, safety goggles, etc.), in the performance of your work, please bring these with you. We may ask you to wear these while performing the test.
- All masks being tested must meet CSA, NIOSH, or CE requirements. If there is an absence of proper markings on the mask, we will be unable to fit test you with that device.
- If we are testing a respirator with particulate filter, please bring the filters with you and ensure they are not expired, we presently do not carry spares.
