Job Purpose: Fit testing is a method for checking that a specific model and size of FFP3 mask (tight-fitting mask) matches the wearers facial features and seals adequately to the wearers face. It will also help to identify unsuitable masks which should not be used. The performance of tight-fitting masks depends on achieving a good contact between the wearers skin and the face seal of the mask. Peoples faces vary significantly in shape and size so it is unlikely that one particular model or size of Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) mask will fit everyone. Inadequate fit will significantly reduce the protection provided to the wearer. Any reduction in protection may lead to immediate or long term ill health or can even put the RPE wearers life in danger. The post holder will work as part of the Infection under the supervision of the Face fit co-ordinator.

All sites will need to be covered with one other Fit Tester during the course of a week and it could be that visiting various locations at those hospitals is required depending on need. The post holder will be responsible for arranging and collecting a PortaCount machine from IPC and setting up the allocated room in preparation for testing. Where required, the post holder will need to refer to IPC for alternatives for respiratory protection where fit testing is unsuccessful and update records accordingly. If there is a lack of face fit testing bookings, then the staff member may be asked to assist within other departments of the Infection Prevention & Control team or Mattress store. Mattress store duties include cleaning the mattresses using PPE and chemicals, collection and delivery of mattresses. Other duties may include education of trust staff regarding hand hygiene competencies and audit of environment and practices. Key Duties: To ensure Personal Protective Equipment is worn and used according to Trust policy. Conduct face fit tests on staff that are required to wear FFP3 masks, specifically: Being clear on the face fit testing process and being able to describe this to staff. To ensure that the mask that is being fitted is a good fit before conducting the test by assisting in fitting the mask ensuring a good seal.

Explaining to the member of staff which mask they have passed on and when they should book another fit test, if required. Where no fit is achieved advising staff on alternatives and how to access them. To actively support the Fit Test Coordinator in implementing and evaluating the Face Fit Test strategy and action plan. Monitor and maintain stock levels of face masks and consumables Clean and maintain equipment according to manufacturers guidance. Communication Establish and maintain relationships with the Fit Test Coordinator and all members of staff and colleagues affiliated with Face Fit Testing.
