OSHA Recognizes CNP
Method
OSHA's most recent 2005
update to the Respiratory Protection Standard greatly facilitated the
use of controlled negative pressure. The new standard allows for
five short tests rather than eight 1-minute tests using particle
counters. That's at least a 40% time savings over all other
methods, even qualitative! Not only is our fit testing method
more reliable, but it saves you valuable time too.

EHS Innovators offers complete respiratory
protection compliance, including both quantitative and qualitative
respirator fit testing. EHSI utilizes the OHD Fit Tester 3000
Quantitative Respiratory Fit Tester when performing on-site
quantitative fit testing for its customers. This computerized
device represents the latest advance in fit testing technology.
It operates on the principle of "controlled negative pressure" (CNP) to
directly measure respirator air leakage rather than the measurement of
particles as an indirect measure of respirator fit (as does the TSI
Portacount). Because of its advanced technology, our fit tester
is more reliable and faster than any other qualitative (e.g., smoke
tubes and banana oil), and even other quantitative methods. We
can fit test more people in less time with better results.

Here's why we're better -
- The Fit Tester 3000's accuracy
is calibrated to a traceable NIST standard. Competitive fit
testing devices cannot measure up to the same level of accuracy, period.
- Particle counters have inherent
errors and biases related to inaccuracies in particle counting as an
indirect means of measuring facepiece leakage. These biases make the
results less reliable and not reproducible. The test room
environment is NEVER a factor with the Fit Tester 3000.
- CNP technology uses direct air
pressure measurement in the facepiece instead of particle migration to
measure the mask for leaks. This gives you a direct measurement
of respirator leakage quickly and accurately regardless of conditions
in the test location. Sampling biases related to aerosol
concentrations, such as lung deposition and streamlining, are
completely irrelevant, giving a greater degree of confidence in the fit
test results from EHSI.
- Fit testing is done in the
wearer's own mask rather than a sample mock-up worn by everyone
else. This eliminates hygiene concerns and ensures better
acceptance by your workers.
At EHS Innovators, we sweat the
details to provide the best and most cost-effective respirator fit
testing services available. Our experience and equipment allows
us to do this better than our competitors.
Respirator fit testing services are
provided primarily throughout the NJ, Philadelphia and New York City
areas.
