- Fit-testing with a taste/smell/irritating indicator, or with quantitative
measurements, and

- Medical evaluation options
- Step-by-step respirator fit-testing procedures
- Respirator cleaning/maintenance guidance
- Frequently-asked questions such as, "Can I perform my own fit-test?" and "Are
web-based medical evaluations allowed?"
