Many assume the objective of a fit test is face piece sizing. Although this is a very important element of fit testing, the primary reason to fit test an individual is to verify that he or she has been trained to wear a respirator and has, in fact, learned how to put on the face piece correctly. If a person does not know how to use the equipment, the respirator will be less effective, regardless of whether or not it is the right size.

CUSTOMER ERVICE FROM THE
Meet your employee’s expectations & they will meet yours. The key to unexpected customer service is meeting employee expectations. Have you ever wondered what makes a good company great? It’s the people. Committed, productive employees are key to organizational success and a healthy bottom line. The challenge, then, is retaining and developing satisfied, committed employees. Research has shown that people who have clearly defined, well-communicated expectations are more productive, have better attitudes and enjoy greater job satisfaction that people whose expectations go unspoken or unrealized. And companies that employ satisfied, successful people reap the rewards of increased productivity, few supervision issues, less internal conflict and reduced turnover, all of which directly contribute to the bottom line.
