This example shows FIT testing for multiple types of respirators. Safety First!

Here at SERVPRO of Jefferson City, many of the situations we come into contact with can be hazardous to the health. We take safety very seriously, and train our employees to properly handle each situation according to OSHA and IICRC standards for our industry.  PPE (Personal Protective Equipment ) is used for each job, and in some cases,  this includes the use of a respirator.  There are multiple types of respirators, depending on the circumstances of the job and the potential hazard.  Examples of situations requiring the use of a respirator may include Mold remediation, smoke and heavy soot, Thermal fogging, and sewage clean up, among others.  Respirators must be checked regularly to ensure a proper fit.   Here you can see one of our technicians being fitted for respirators.  Continuous training and safety testing is just one of the ways our team is working to not only keep us safe, but to ensure we can always be there for you.
