N95 Mask Fit Testing in Aged Care

[Vanessa Davis]

Hello Clever People!
Wondering if any residential aged care facility has done fit testing for
staff?

If so, why and how did you do it?
Is there a document about MUST do for RACF or Vic healthcare providers and
where is this written?

Has anyone done a risk assessment about fit testing that they are willing
to share?

Is there a research article about the effectiveness of a properly sized N95
mask verses a one-size-fits most mask that I could read?

I know there has been a lot of recent chatter about this so I apologise for
again asking.

Many thanks to all.
