N95 Fit Testing Training Video (please see important notice in video description)

𝗜𝗠𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗧 𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗘:
The following fit testing demonstration was created based on VUMC OCRS departmental protocols which was approved by OSHA under the section regarding 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗙𝗶𝘁 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗹𝘀 (𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄) in Appendix A to §1910.134—Fit Testing Procedures. Because of this, some fit testing kits may have different directions and protocols regarding qualitative fit testing methods. Please refer to the fit testing protocols provided with your kit for guidance.

A. Any person may submit to OSHA an application for approval of a new fit test protocol. If the application meets the following criteria, OSHA will initiate a rulemaking proceeding under section 6(b)(7) of the OSH Act to determine whether to list the new protocol as an approved protocol in this appendix A.
B. The application must include a detailed description of the proposed new fit test protocol. This application must be supported by either:
1. A test report prepared by an independent government research laboratory (e.g., Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, the National Institute for Standards and Technology) stating that the laboratory has tested the protocol and had found it to be accurate and reliable; or
2. An article that has been published in a peer-reviewed industrial hygiene journal describing the protocol and explaining how test data support the protocol's accuracy and reliability.
C. If OSHA determines that additional information is required before the Agency commences a rulemaking proceeding under this section, OSHA will so notify the applicant and afford the applicant the opportunity to submit the supplemental information. Initiation of a rulemaking proceeding will be deferred until OSHA has received and evaluated the supplemental information.
