Fit Testing
It is important that you determine what style and size of mash is suitable for you. Before entering an unsafe environment, it is important to fit check your P2/N95 face mask. The fit checking process is done to ensure that the mask is successfully providing a seal over the bridge of the nose and mouth and that you have no gaps allowing air to enter between the mask and the face.
Procedure for putting on a P2/N95 face mask and conducting a fit check
- Place the mask on your face, making sure the nose piece is positioned at the top of the mask.
- Place the headband straps over your head with one being at the back of your head and the other at the base of the neck.
- Gently compress the metal nose piece against your nose to ensure a seal across the bridge of the nose.
- Compress the mask to ensure a seal across the cheeks and the face; and
- Conduct a fit check: check the seal of the mask by inhaling and checking if the mask is pulling towards the face. If not and air leaks around the face seal, readjust the mask and repeat the process or check for defects in the mask. If the mask still leaks you may need to try a different size or style of mask.
People with beards should shave before using a P2 mask as a good seal between the mask and the wearer’s face cannot be guaranteed if they have facial hair.
