Administering a Qualitative Respirator Fit Test

Donning a Respirator

STEP 1 – To don a respirator, hold the respirator in one hand, with the nose piece up and let the straps hang loosely.

STEP 2 – Place the respirator under the chin, with the nosepiece facing up.

STEP 3 – While holding the respirator with 1 hand, pull the top strap over your head, resting it at the back of your head.

STEP 4 – Pull the bottom strap over your head, and place it around your neck, below your ears.

STEP 5 – Mold the nose piece with both hands to the shape of your nose. (Pinching with 1 hand will likely result in less effective respirator fit)
