We appreciate your close attention to the following important notes regarding respirator fit testing:

  • The fit test session is offered to Duke employees only.  This does not include contract employees, PDC Direct employees, or students.
  • Employees must have their Duke ID badge with them at the time of the fit test.
  • Employees must have a current medical clearance for respirator use on file with Employee Occupational Health & Wellness (EOHW).
  • Any growth of facial hair that comes between the sealing surface of the respirator and the face is not permitted.  If necessary, please shave before you come.
  • See this CDC infographic for examples
  • Only Duke employees who are required to wear a tight-fitting respirator for their job need a fit test. 
  • Smoking interferes with the testing.  Please do not smoke within 60 minutes of your appointment.
  • Employees who are required to wear a respirator for protection from airborne pathogens must complete the online training course, IH196 (“Respiratory Protection for Airborne Pathogens”) in Duke’s Safety Management System (SMS), annually.
