MEDICAL CLEARANCE AND FIT TEST
Before being fit tested and able to effectively use a respirator a medical evaluation must be performed. Life and Safety is able to offer doctor reviewed online medical evaluations with approval often available in less than 24 hours. The medical evaluation is an optional add on for the training.
Once the medical evaluation has been successfully completed each person must be tested on the respirator(s) they are to use. This fit testing can be performed at our home office located in Greenville, SC or one of the 5000 partner clinics located across the United States.
For fit testing in the Greenville, SC area please call our office at 864.297.4521. For all other areas please contact our partner Occu-Med.
