Face Fit Testing
By engaging OCTIEF to conduct fit testing you agree to the following terms and conditions of testing:

Terms of Testing:

The results and information on the fit test report will be shared with interested parties (e.g. employer, principals, representatives or regulators).

You will be honest about your name, employer details and ID/phone number.

You will not hold OCTIEF PTY LTD or related entities/individuals liable for any damages, injury, illness or death caused by wearing or not wearing the RPE (Respiratory Protective Equipment) tested.

Please note that if wearing other PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) not used during testing, we cannot guarantee the fit of the RPE.

The RPE is reasonably comfortable, is a reasonable size and fit and you agree that you are medically fit to wear a respirator.

You will wear RPE in accordance with AS/NZS 1715:2009 Selection, use and maintenance of respiratory protective equipment, RPE manufacturers specifications and any other site or employer requirements.
You will only wear the respirator clean shaven and ensure that no facial hair crosses or interferes with the sealing surface of the respirator.

You are aware that although a pass has been achieved the RPE may only be suitable for use in certain environments, and a risk assessment needs to be undertaken to determine whether that RPE is appropriate prior to working in areas with airborne contaminants. This will take into account factors including the RPE protection factor, filters, task and operator factors, type and design of mask generally.
You are aware that fit testing is an annual requirement, and it is recommended that you are fit tested again if you have any change in facial characteristics (dental work, weight loss, weight gain, scarring)

Conditions of Testing:

The testing was conducted as per the OSHA protocol- 29 CFR 1910.134 (OSHA Fast-Filtering Face, OSHA Fast-Full/Half Face) and AS/NZS 1715:2009 Selection, use and maintenance of respiratory protective equipment (RPE), whilst wearing other personal protective equipment (PPE) that may affect the seal and therefore protective function of the RPE. The testing was conducted whilst standing and undertaking exercises specified in the protocol, after donning the RPE for 5 minutes. The testing was conducted by a fit test operator competent in areas listed in ISO 16975-3 Respiratory protective devices- Selection, use and maintenance – Part 3 Fit testing procedures – Section 5.2.

The testing was conducted for workers that were deemed clean-shaven and have no facial hair that interfered with or touched the sealing surface of the respirator. If at any time the test subject feels uncomfortable or is suffering ill effects from wearing the RPE the test will be stopped. All components of the fit test equipment that pose a risk to the worker being tested shall be disinfected with antibacterial wipes and cleaned in line with manufacturers specifications.

RPE Supply
RPE supplied on a one-off basis, on an ongoing basis or at the time of fit testing is to be worn in accordance with AS/NZS 1715:2009 and the supplied Manufacturer Specifications. Due to the complexity of selecting RPE we strongly advise that a risk assessment is completed by the employer to ensure the RPE is suitable for the environment in which it is being worn, or a consultant is engaged to determine suitability of the respirator.

Cancellations/ No Shows/ Late Arrivals
Please note OCTIEF PTY LTD reserves the right to cancel the order at its discretion, or through force majeure and will not indemnify any party for lost revenue or damages resulting from cancellation of an issued quote.

OCTIEF or Site Testing:

For Fit Testing client cancellations 2+ days prior to booking date no cancellation fee will apply, cancellations on the day prior to testing will incur an administration fee of $60 ex GST per person booked. For cancellations on the day, if you do not show up to your appointment, or refuse to shave we charge $80 ex GST per person booked.

Onsite Fit Testing:

For Fit Testing client cancellations 2+ days prior to booking date no cancellation fee will apply, cancellations on the day prior to testing will incur an administration fee of $60 ex GST per person booked. We will charge the quoted amount even if you have less workers onsite, or workers refuse to shave (i.e booked for 15 workers, 6 tested, we will charge for 15).

If you do not show for your booking, and refuse to pay the no show fee, we will pass the debt owed to a collection agency.

We are an efficient business and try our best to be on time. When clients arrive late this not only pushes out your booking, but the bookings of other attendees. Please arrive 10 minutes early for all bookings. If you arrive more than 10 minutes late we may turn you away and you will be charged a no show fee.

Occasionally we will have attendees fail on masks specified and this can push out booking times, in these instances we will do our best to run your job as efficient as possible.
