RPE face fit tests recorded per person, per mask

A tight-fitting mask that has not been fit tested on that person is not protection. Gaffer records the fit test against the worker and the specific make and model of RPE, with the test method, the result and when the retest is due.

Part of health & safety in Gaffer, which replaces a folder of last year’s templates with the dates changed.

Step 04 of the job: on site

The engineer taps “On my way” and the customer gets a text with an arrival window. On site: clock in, photos, the certificate for the job — EICR, Gas Safety, whatever the trade needs — signed on the device. No signal? It syncs later.

Health & Safety is where RPE fit tests sits, and that is the step it shows up in most. The rest of the job — quoting, scheduling, certificates, invoicing and payment — runs in the same system, on the same record. See the whole job →
