Hi Whitney,
Here at White, our employee credentials (PPD, N95 mask fits, TB Questionnaires, BCLS, ACLS, Fire Card, Flu, etc.) are linked to the employees profile in PITA (our time keeping system) and the system automatically
locks the employee out if one of these credentials expire. The PITA system gives them a 45 day notice to renew. As you can see my compliance is always in the high 90’s. I’m the only EH Nurse also for 2200 employees and it does get hectic sometimes doing the
mask fits. My employees just come in on a walk in basis.
Hope that helps,
Dewayne

Subject: [MCOH-EH] n95 mask fit questions
Hello,
I recently transitioned into the occupational health role for our hospital. I am looking for suggestions on the best way to get the annual n95 mask fittings caught up and a good system to keep ensure
continued compliance. Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Currently employees are supposed to report to employee health to have their annual fittings and TST done on their annual hire date. However, compliance is quiet low. Also, I am looking
for ideas on the best way to perform mass fittings for large groups, as I am the only health nurse for the facility.
Thank you in advance!
