Respirator Fit Testing and Certification

by NursesWeCare

CAN/CSA Z94.4-18 Compliant | RN-Led | Evidence-Based

 

Protect Yourself. Protect Others. Protect Your Workplace.

NursesWeCare offers certified N95 Mask/Respirator Fit Testing services led by experienced Registered Nurses (RNs) with advanced training in Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) and Occupational Health Nursing. Our service ensures that healthcare workers, students, and staff are properly fitted with certified N95 or equivalent respirators in compliance with CAN/CSA-Z94.4-18 standards. Our in-office testing is efficient, professional, and aligned with Ontario's health and safety requirements.

Why Mask Fit Testing Matters

A poor-fitting mask can put you at risk. Whether you're a frontline healthcare worker, dental professional, or nursing student, a properly fitted N95 respirator is crucial for protecting against airborne hazards, especially in clinical and high-risk environments.

Each session includes more than just a fit test—it's a personalized experience focused on education, prevention, and readiness. We provide official certification on the same day, along with an optional badge sticker for easy workplace visibility. Our nurse-led approach empowers clients to understand their Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), perform effective seal checks, and meet the expectations of clinical placements or employment requirements with confidence.

Mask Fit Test Service Pricing
