3M FT-10 Sweet Qualitative Face Fit Testing Kit

Discover…
The HSE’s guidelines state that all tight-fitting respiratory protective equipment must be face fit tested on an individual to ensure that the mask fits the wearer’s face and avoids any leakage. This kit can be a cost-effective way to correctly assess a face mask’s suitability. Included in the kit is a saccharin solution which should not be tasted by the wearer if the mask fits correctly. For those who are unable to detect saccharin, a bitter face fit testing kit is available separately.
