Face-Fit Testing in Loughborough

Professional Face-Fit Testing in Loughborough

If your employees wear tight-fitting respiratory protective equipment, the law requires it to be face-fit tested to the individual wearing it. A mask that does not seal offers almost no protection, and no amount of training or supervision compensates for a poor fit. We provide HSE-compliant qualitative face-fit testing at your premises.

Based in Coalville, Leicestershire, Integral Safety is ideally positioned to serve businesses in Loughborough. Choosing a local consultancy means testing at your premises on a date that suits your production schedule, without sending people away or losing a shift.

Loughborough's mix of research laboratories, engineering firms and construction contractors means face-fit testing requests here range from a single researcher to a full site crew. Laboratory and research settings often need testing for a specific procedure or substance rather than as routine daily wear, which changes the conversation about mask selection.

Because Loughborough is our closest large town, we can be flexible about numbers. Testing two people is not usually worth a long journey for a consultancy based further away, which is why small requirements here often go unmet until an audit raises them.

Loughborough combines a major university and its science and enterprise park with a solid base of engineering, electronics and precision manufacturing, plus distribution operations drawn by the M1. The university connection means an unusual number of research, laboratory and spin-out businesses in the town, which brings substances, gases and prototype equipment into the risk picture.

Getting to you

Loughborough is our closest large town, around 15 minutes from Coalville on the A512. In practice that means we can often be on site the same day for anything urgent.

Recurring issues we come across doing this work locally. If any of these sound familiar, they are all fixable.

• Single researchers or technicians needing testing that nobody will travel for
• Laboratory RPE selected for the wrong hazard, filtering particulates against a vapour risk
• Masks stored loose in drawers between uses, damaging the face seal
• Students and short-term staff using RPE with no testing at all

• Meet your legal duty under COSHH and the Control of Lead and Asbestos Regulations
• Genuine protection for employees rather than the appearance of it
• Documented evidence for audits, clients and enforcement
• Minimal disruption, testing takes around 20 minutes per person
• Identify wearers who need a different mask before it matters
• Support your health surveillance programme

We provide face-fit testing throughout Loughborough and surrounding areas, including:
