Wollongong City Council, Australia beBeeRespiratory Full time
Job Description:

The RPP Fit Testers are responsible for ensuring effective Quantitative Fit Testing (QNFT). QNFT involves an objective measurement of the leakage of particles from inside mask using a numerical indicator called the fit factor. A machine, such as a PortaCount or AccuFIT or similar device, is used to measure the volume of particles inside the mask compared with the surrounding ambient air.

Fit testing identifies the respirator's capacity to seal to an individual's face and is used for tight-fitting respirators. Fit testing attempts to replicate the types of movements that are likely when wearing a respirator and there are three international testing protocols. Each involves 4-7 exercises or movements that the wearer must undertake during fit testing. In addition, some protocols require all components of testing to be passed, others require a minimum composite score for a pass.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Ensure effective Quantitative Fit Testing
  • Measure the leakage of particles from inside mask
  • Use a numerical indicator called the fit factor
  • Conduct exercises or movements during fit testing
  • Pass all components of testing or achieve a minimum composite score
Required Skills and Qualifications:
  • Applicable vaccination requirements for a Category A role
  • Valid NSW Drivers Licence
Benefits:

We offer a range of benefits, including:

  • Allocated Days Off – once a month take a paid day off (eligible full-time employees)
  • Salary packaging – less tax and more take-home pay
  • Novated leasing – lease a car and pay for all running costs out of your pre-taxed salary (eligible full-time employees)
  • Fitness Passport - discounted gym membership that both you and your family can enjoy (eligible employees)
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) – free confidential and professional assistance for staff and their families
  • Discounted health insurance is available through a number of different private health insurance providers
  • Career progression, professional development and secondment opportunities
