AFT meets Compliance with Occupational Safety and Health act 29 CFR 1910.134 which states:

1910.134(f)
Fit testing. This paragraph requires that, before an employee may be required to use any respirator with a negative or positive pressure tight-fitting face piece, the employee must be fit tested with the same make, model, style, and size of respirator that will be used. This paragraph specifies the kinds of fit tests allowed, the procedures for conducting them, and how the results of the fit tests must be used.
1910.134(f)(1)
The employer shall ensure that employees using a tight-fitting face piece respirator pass an appropriate qualitative fit test (QLFT) or quantitative fit test (QNFT) as stated in this paragraph.
1910.134(f)(2)
The employer shall ensure that an employee using a tight-fitting face piece respirator is fit tested prior to initial use of the respirator, whenever a different respirator face piece (size, style, model or make) is used, and at least annually thereafter.
      • Eliminate the guesswork
        The PORTACOUNT eliminates the human variables associated with qualitative methods.
      • Fit test any tight-fitting respirator 
        The PORTACOUNT can be used to fit test almost any tight-fitting respirator including elastomeric half and full-face masks, PAPRs, SCBA, and even disposable (filtering-face piece) respirators. Class-95 disposable masks require use of the N95-Companion™ accessory
      • Fit test in the employee's own mask
        You can fit test with conventional probed test masks or use a mask sampling adapter to test people in their own respirator.
      • The PORTACOUNT Plus eliminates the awkward fit test hoods and chemical exposure concerns associated with other fit test methods.
