ESF webinar series “Respirator Fit Testing – Everything you need to know”

The European Safety Federation is pleased to invite you to an upcoming webinar series organized by the ESF Working Group on Respiratory Protection.

As part of our ongoing efforts to address the proper use of respiratory protection, the working group is focusing on the small, but very important part of respirator selection: Respirator Fit Testing. This initiative aims to share basic knowledge about fit testing, its different methods and things to keep in mind when implementing fit testing.

We are preparing a series of brief, impactful webinars (30 minutes each), which will take place bi-monthly the penultimate Friday at 11 am CET. Every episode will be recorded and uploaded (see @ESF-EuropeanSafetyFederation) for re-watching and self-learning afterwards. We will have the series throughout 2026.

6th session: How to start a fit test programme?

The last session of the 2026 webinar series on respirator fit testing will wrap-up and summarise the series. Furthermore, we will take a look at next steps: What are the steps needed to implement fit testing? Which content does need to be covered in a fit test programme? What are common pitfalls? What do I have to do next and were can I find help? After going through all of these questions we will have time for your questions.
