Fit testing continues to successfully rollout across Monash Health and is now available to all priority cohorts who require mandatory fit testing. So far, over 3000 employees have been fit tested since December which represents over half of the priority cohort. Thank you to all of those who have been fit tested so far.
Fit testing is currently available at: Casey Hospital, Clayton Medical Centre, Dandenong Hospital, Moorabbin Hospital, and the Kingston Centre.
A reminder that all priority cohorts must have completed their mandatory fit test before 1 June 2021. If you were required to undertake PPE training, and are required to wear a P2/N95 respirator as set out in the tiered PPE compulsory standards (see here), you are required to be fit tested.
Fit tested respirators remain a vital protection against COVID-19 and other respiratory hazards, which is why the Victorian Government have made fit testing a mandatory requirement. Fit testing is an annual requirement at Monash Health and the session is scheduled for 1 hour.
