N95 Testing: What to expect and how to prepare

Testing Information:

  • Please bring the applicable Health Form with you when coming in for fit testing:
  • The process will take at least 10 minutes
  • No appointment necessary but employees with appointments will be seen before walk-ins.
  • DO NOT smoke, eat, chew gum or drink anything other than plain water 15 minutes prior to fit test.
  • We will not fit test anyone with ANY facial hair per OSHA standards — employees with facial hair should never wear an N95 to care for patients on airborne precautions!
