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.
