Respiratory Fit Testing is required annually for anyone who uses a respirator in order to ensure a proper fit. Please book a 30-minute time slot through Angela Deighan in Research Services for both sessions, either by email at adeighan@upei.ca or by phone (902) 628-4308.

Individuals must take their respirator or purchase one for the fit testing. As per the CSA Standard, faces must be clean shaven in order to have a respiratory fit test. Please note that fit testing and respiratory supplies are departmental costs.
