Respirator Fit Test Register

An editable Excel respirator fit test register for Queensland workplaces where workers wear tight-fitting half-face, full-face or air-fed respirators. It works as a respirator fit test record template and fit test form: one row for every fit test with the worker, respirator make, model and size, the test method (saccharin, bitter agent, particle counting or controlled negative pressure), the tester and the result. The next test date is 12 months after a pass, the sheet flags overdue and due soon tests, and a worker is shown as cleared only with a pass and nothing under the seal. Worker Status counts each person’s current, overdue and failed tests, and separate sheets keep issue and training, reusable respirator care and fit checks on each use.
