The respiratory protection’s program manager or safety coordinator is responsible for assisting the user in selecting the correct respirator size relative to the user’s facial features and dimensions. Any approved 3M Scott Fire & Safety accessories that will be used with the respirator (such as a communications device, etc.) must be in place during fit testing.

FIT TESTING PROCEDURE Routine Testing Once the proper size is selected and assigned to the user following successful fit test to achieve minimum fit factors required, the respirator user must perform and pass a negative pressure User Seal Check every time the facepiece is donned to ensure proper fit before using the respirator in a hazardous atmosphere.
FACEPIECE FITTING Facepiece Sizes 3M Scott facepieces are available in small, medium, and large sizes. Depending on the facepiece model, the size is identified by the sizing studs located inside the face seal and on the outside tab (see Figure A-1).

The user must determine which accessories or optional components are installed on the facepiece.
