Dear Brains Trust,
We are looking to conduct additional staff training on donning / doffing
PPE and fit testing p2/ n95 masks. I would appreciate any assistance about
resources and training material.I am aware WA health has initiated a state run training and checking
programme with nursing and medical staff. I understand that they are fit
testing masks with an attached hose to masks, measuring air flow gradients.
I would love to find out more about the methodology being used and what
research it is based upon.Just email me and thank you in advance for your advice.
Kind regards,
John

Hi John,
SA has run a mandatory fit testing program for N95 masks for many years and also donning and doffing auditing.
CALHN developed with Adelaide University training material on donning and doffing which is accessible through the CALHN COVID internet page as well as the SA Health page (links below).
https://www.rah.sa.gov.au/covid19-information-for-calhn-staff/personal-protective-equipment (under extra resources)
https://www.sahealth.sa.gov.au/wps/wcm/connect/public+content/sa+health+internet/conditions/infectious+diseases/covid-19/health+professionals/infection+control+and+ppe (under PPE and infection control education resources)
Across the organisation we have developed a validation process with accredited validators that are multidisciplinary and assess the staff for their donning and doffing technique.
We are happy to share this offline if you email me.Kind Regards
Know the infection risks, share the solutions

Hi John,
The fit testing has been around a very long time for people that work with respiratory risks, but for some reason health never did this till now for workers, despite it being a legal requirement under OSH legislation.
It’s mainly prior to covid been used for people working with asbestos or hazards like that.
There is a programme run by the AIOH (Australian Institute of Occupational Hygiene) that is based on the many years experience they have in this area.
Details and probably all the answers to your questions, and a list of trained fit test providers can be found at –
