Qualitative Face Fit Testing – for Disposable and Half Face Respirators (RPE)

Aims and Objectives

A tight-fitting face piece is only as good as the fit itself and any break in the seal can lead to potential exposure and a risk to an employee’s health. It is a mandatory requirement under Section 7 of the current COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) Regulations 2002 that as an employer you protect your workforce by ensuring that the correct RPE is tested, fitted and worn correctly to give maximum protection and to meet your legal obligations.

"I was recommended by a driver to this lgv driving school, and I had a very good experience. I was able to pass my Class 2 first time, with excellent instructors as well. If anyone is wishing to learn to drive lgv, use this school!
More than 5 Stars."
Ursula B
" This place is fantastic !! Great instructors, great office staff, very well organised and well communicated. Previous to using TTA I went to another training company to do my class 2 however when going in for my class 1 I was recommended to use TTA and can not fault the qualified instructors. The experience was a lot better than the other training company. The place has a more friendly feel and put you at ease and the communication from the office team is a lot better organised!
Would like to say a special thanks to Oana, Julie, Jon and Dave for their professionalism throughout. Give this company a try, a must if you are considering doing a course! Thanks again!"
