What is a Face Fit Train the Trainer course?

Making sure you have the knowledge and skills to successfully train workers is vital across all areas of workplace safety. This couldn’t be truer in workplaces where there’s a risk of exposure to hazardous materials.

Our Face Fit Train the Trainer course gives trainers everywhere the grounding they need to deliver a high standard of training on the use of fitted face protection to safeguard the health and wellbeing of workers, and keep employers legally compliant.

Why is Face Fit training important?

Keeping your workers protected from hazards, such as substances that could harm health, is a legal responsibility for every employer in the UK. Under current Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) regulations, you must ensure that all face pieces are fitted and worn correctly to minimise the risk of exposure.
