Good afternoon everyone,
My organisation is organising a Fit-testing program for our residential facilities and I would be interested to know how many of you in Aged care have developed your own program or if you have outsourced this please?
We also have Residential Homelessness shelters and Foster Care homes, so quite broad services to reach with such a program.
Any advice or tips appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Chris

The Network has outsourced fit-testing but the problems with that is they are so busy with the hospitals that a lot of our staff did not get assessed & those who failed & required re-testing also have not be tested.

Hi Chris
We outsourced this service from our NSW Health LHD, however, it is taking a long time to get staff done as we are working around the tester and her workload at the LHD, getting the staff to attend on those days has also been a challenge.As this is going to be ongoing we have purchased our own fit testing equipment. (We are just waiting for the trainer to come and train us).
We will be working this into our WH&S policy as the testing is required to be attended on all new staff, annually and if the staff facial features change eg weight loss or gain. It only made sense to buy our own. (By the way they are expensive).
I hope this helps.
Regards
