Respirator Fit Testing in Boise and Idaho Healthcare Facilities
Summit delivers quantitative respirator fit testing designed for Healthcare settings where worker and patient safety are inseparable. Using advanced instrumentation, we verify the seal of each respirator and provide documented, defensible results that meet OSHA requirements. OSHA requires annually that each employee mandated to wear a respirator must receive a fit test.
For hospitals, clinics, laboratories, emergency medical services, and long-term care facilities, the outcomes are clear:
We fit test the respirators most relied upon in Healthcare, including N95s, half masks, full facepieces, and SCBAs.
By implementing a robust fit testing program, Boise Healthcare organizations not only meet regulatory obligations but also demonstrate a proactive commitment to protecting staff, patients, and community health.
Respirator Program Development & Management in Boise and Idaho
Our Certified Industrial Hygienists design complete, OSHA-compliant Respirator Protection Plans (RPP) that reflect the hazards and exposures of your workplace. Program development includes:
An incorrectly designed RPP can result in respirator misuse, ineffective filters, and dangerous overexposures—putting both workers and employers at risk.
Why Choose Quantitative Fit Testing
Quantitative respirator fit testing using Summit’s TSI PortaCount system sets the benchmark for accuracy, comfort, and compliance. Unlike qualitative methods that rely on chemical test agents sprayed around the face which often cause irritation and poorly test the respirator seals, the PortaCount system delivers precise, data-driven measurements in just minutes.
Employees prefer it because it’s non-invasive, a faster test method, and more comfortable, and the system can test hundreds of employees quickly. Management teams value the objective data results and reports generated by the Portacount System that stand up to OSHA audits and confidently verify protection levels.
Integrating these quantitative methods not only ensures compliance, it reduces exposure risk, increases employee trust, and strengthens overall safety culture.

Frequently Asked Questions About Respirator Fit Testing
What’s the difference between qualitative and quantitative fit testing? Qualitative testing is pass/fail based on a person’s detection of taste or smell of a chemical that is sprayed into their breathing area. Quantitative testing numerically measures a person’s fit to the mask using instrumentation for a much higher reliability and protection. See OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 for additional details.
Annually, upon initial use, with respirator changes, or if physical conditions affect fit per OSHA requirements.
We offer on-site testing.
Confidential questionnaires or exams by a medical provider before fit testing to confirm suitability, with follow-ups as required.
N95s, elastomeric half and full facepieces, and SCBAs.
