01
Clearance confirmation
Medical clearance is confirmed before the employee begins the fit-test protocol.
Exposure protection
Fit testing for the respirator employees actually use.
Beeline coordinates OSHA-accepted qualitative or quantitative fit testing after medical clearance, with equipment-specific documentation and employer program support.
Service overview
Confirm the seal before exposure begins.
Tight-fitting respirators must fit the individual wearer. Beeline helps employers sequence medical clearance, identify the respirator inventory, choose an accepted test method and document the result for the respiratory protection program.
- 01Initial respirator assignment
- 02Annual fit testing
- 03New facepiece make, model, style or size
- 04Physical change that may affect fit
What the pathway includes
One service, coordinated from request through follow-up.
The exact scope follows the selected standard, employer protocol, clinical judgment and employee-specific needs.
02
Respirator selection
The employee tests the same make, model, style and size intended for workplace use.
03
Accepted fit-test protocol
A qualitative or quantitative OSHA-accepted protocol is selected for the respirator and use case.
04
Result documentation
The test method, facepiece details, date and pass/fail or fit-factor result are recorded.
Delivery settings
Clear about where each step can happen.
Some services can travel to the workforce. Others require clinic equipment or support only remote preparation and follow-up.
01
On-site
AvailableOn-site testing supports groups when the employer provides the respirator inventory and appropriate test conditions.
02
In-clinic
AvailableIndividual employees can complete in-person fit testing at participating locations.
03
Virtual
Not availableFit testing requires in-person equipment use and cannot be completed virtually.
Before the appointment
Arrive with the information the pathway needs.
- 01
Complete required respirator medical clearance before the appointment.
- 02
Bring the exact make, model, style and size used at work unless otherwise arranged.
- 03
Follow pre-test instructions about eating, drinking, smoking, facial hair and other seal considerations.

What to know before scheduling.
How often is fit testing required?
For covered tight-fitting respirators, OSHA requires testing before initial use, when a different facepiece is used, at least annually and when physical changes could affect fit.
What is the difference between qualitative and quantitative testing?
Qualitative testing is a pass/fail method based on detecting a test agent. Quantitative testing numerically measures leakage and produces a fit factor.
Can an employee be fit tested with facial hair?
The test cannot be conducted when hair crosses the facepiece sealing surface or interferes with valve function.
