Face fit masks
My letter for face fit testing says "Please do not eat, drink or smoke
30 minutes before your face fitting test" Why? If it's for a better fit then surely it will be fit better if I do the things I would normally do before wearing the mask when I am at work. Things such as eating, drinking and smoking. Or do they expect me to fast from all three for 30 minutes before wearing the mask when at work? -- Adam |

I think the test is whether or not you can taste a spray, so I'd guess the fear is that a vindaloo or half an ounce of shag would risk you tasting nothing even without the mask on. -- Robin reply-to address is (intended to be) valid |

Face fit masks
I'm sure they decontaminate between fittings or everyone will go down with
whatever bugs the last patient had! I'm surprised technology has not come to the rescue of this and made a set of masks that really does fit anyone by now.

I guess he could grow a beard that would confuse them.

My letter for face fit testing says "Please do not eat, drink or smoke 30 minutes before your face fitting test" Why? From the instructions on one of the 3M testing kits: "Eating and drinking beforehand They should not eat or drink anything other than water within 30 minutes of their allocated time-slot. This reduces the risk of food or drink consumed earlier leaving a residual taste in the mouth that could be confused with a fit test failure" If it's for a better fit then surely it will be fit better if I do the things I would normally do before wearing the mask when I am at work. Things such as eating, drinking and smoking. Or do they expect me to fast from all three for 30 minutes before wearing the mask when at work? Look at the bright side, they did not prohibit shagging ;-) -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

I am trying to remember just exactly what it was that we were sweeping up that the HSE fined us for when they caught us sweeping it up. It was a white dust or powder, certainly not asbestos or cocaine but it cost us a £2K fine. -- Adam |
