This is an experimental study where we aim to compare respiratory fit with two protocols:
i) the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) standard fit testing protocol and ii) a simulated work fit testing protocol using a set of life support and patient handling tasks.
We also aim to identify factors associated with passing a standard and simulated respirator fit test.
