The Australian Institute of Occupational Hygienists (AIOH) developed the program and provides employers and PCBUs the means for improving the quality of fit-testing in the workplace.&amp;nbsp; RESP-FIT provides a standardised training syllabus and accreditation to ensure a framework of competency can be made available to all Australian workers.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The syllabus and training are based on the Australian and New Zealand standard 1715, and also based on ISO 16975-3. Mark and Jane cover the processes, standards and rigours developed through the creation of the RESP-FIT program and how you can get involved, either as an accredited fit-tester, a training provider, or by finding and engaging accredited fit-testers through the RESP-FIT website. 3M Science of Safety http://3mscienceofsafety.libsyn.com/website <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/19817423/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/fc0207/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/19817423
