[MCOH-EH] respirator fit testing procedure

[Tara Dockery]

I believe the fit testing protocol asks for them to be tested sitting, standing and moving around/bending at the waist to ensure the seal is good, and that they can perform duties while using the mask without leaks.

What is your practice for respirator fit testing exercises - do you have the employee sitting or standing?  The OSHA standard states that the first 5 postures need to be completed in a standing position but the last (bending over) does not clarify the posture.
