Respiratory Fit Testing is conducted to ensure that the respirator is both comfortable and provides employees the expected protection. Our Qualitative Fit test uses testing substances that patients can detect by the sense of taste or smell. During test, patients perform movements that consist of head turns and coughing to assess proper respirator fit.

Breath Alcohol Test
A breath alcohol test measures how much alcohol is in the air you breathe out. The device uses that measurement to estimate how much alcohol is in your blood. That number is known as your BAC, or blood alcohol content. Blood alcohol level above the range of 0.05% lead to reduce muscle coordination, and impaired judgment.

Protect your employee from active Tuberculosis(TB). TB is a bacterial infection that mainly affects the lungs. It can also affect other parts of the body, including the brain, spine, and kidneys. TB is contagious and can spread from one employee to another through coughing and sneezing. Routine screening is essential to ensure employees are not carrying an active infection with the potential of negatively affecting the entire workforce.
