When preparing for an N-95 Mask Fit Test (MFT), which is required at SSM Health and other health system facilities, you must first be cleared to be tested. The medical clearance assesses whether you are at risk of harm from wearing a respirator based on your health history and conditions.
The industry standard form is provided by OSHA and asks various questions of a provider about your fitness to undergo the test (do you have asthma or other respiratory illnesses, etc.). You will need to take a filled-out Respirator Fit Test Form to your Orientation shift.
